Baruch 4:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ Go, my children, go,
    for I have been left desolate.
²⁰ I have removed my robes of peace
    and donned sackcloth for prayers of supplication;
    throughout my life I will cry out to the Everlasting.
²¹ “Take courage, my children; call out to God,
    and he will deliver you from oppression
    and from the hands of your enemies.
