Baruch 4:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 You were sold to the nations
but not for the purpose of your destruction.
You were handed over to your enemies
because you provoked God’s indignation.
7 You offended the one who made you
by offering sacrifices to demons and not to God.
8 You turned your back on the Everlasting[a] who nourished you,
and caused sorrow for Jerusalem who reared you.
Footnotes
- Baruch 4:8 The Everlasting: the Greek translator of chapter 4 (see vv. 8, 10, 14, 20, 22, 24, 35) has, with felicitous intuition, rendered by the word “Everlasting,” the Hebraic name, Yahweh (Ex 3:14-15).
