Baruch 4:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Let the neighbours of Zion come;
    remember the capture of my sons and daughters,
    which the Everlasting brought upon them.
¹⁵ For he brought a distant nation against them,
    a nation ruthless and of a strange language,
which had no respect for the aged
    and no pity for a child.
¹⁶ They led away the widow’s beloved sons,
    and bereaved the lonely woman of her daughters.
