Baruch 4:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ Take courage, my children, cry to God,
    and he will deliver you from the power and hand of the enemy.
²² For I have put my hope in the Everlasting to save you,
    and joy has come to me from the Holy One,
because of the mercy that will soon come to you
    from your everlasting savior.^[a]
23 For I sent you out with sorrow and weeping,
    but God will give you back to me with joy and gladness forever.
