Baruch 1:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ and have disobeyed him. We did not listen to him or live according to his commandments. ¹⁹ From the day the Lord brought our ancestors out of Egypt until the present day, we have continued to be unfaithful to him, and we have not hesitated to disobey him. ^20 (A)Long ago, when the Lord led our ancestors out of Egypt, so that he could give us a rich and fertile land, he pronounced curses against us through his servant Moses. And today we are suffering because of those curses.
