Baruch 4:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ She saw the wrath of God descending upon you,
    and she exclaimed:
“Listen, you neighbors of Zion.
    God has afflicted me with great sorrow.
¹⁰ For I have beheld the exile of my sons and daughters
    that the Everlasting has brought upon them.
¹¹ Joyfully I raised them,
    but with tears and lamenting I had to watch them depart.
