Baruch 4:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ Jerusalem saw the wrath of God
that came on you and said:
    Neighbors of Zion, listen!
    God has brought me great grief.
¹⁰ I have watched my sons and daughters taken captive,
    the action of the eternal one.
¹¹ I nursed them joyfully,
    but I sent them away
    with tears and mourning.
