Baruch 4:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Neighbors of Zion, come!
    Remember the exile
    my sons and daughters suffered,
    brought on them by the eternal one.
¹⁵ God brought a nation
from far away against them,
    a nation that is shameless
    and speaks a strange language,
    that showed no respect for the elderly or pity for the child.
¹⁶ It^[a] took away the widow’s
dearly loved sons
    and deprived the lonely woman
    of her daughters.
