Baruch 4:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 The one who has brought this evil upon you
must himself deliver you from your enemies’ hands.(A)
19 Farewell, my children, farewell;
I am left desolate.
20 I have taken off the garment of peace,
have put on sackcloth for my prayer of supplication;
while I live I will cry out to the Eternal One.(B)
