Baruch 4:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Let Zion’s neighbors come
    to observe the captivity of my sons and daughters
    that the Everlasting has inflicted upon them.
¹⁵ He caused a faraway nation to war against them,
    a ruthless nation speaking a foreign tongue,
    that showed neither respect for the aged
    nor pity for the young.
¹⁶ They have led into exile the widow’s beloved sons
    and left her alone, without a solitary surviving daughter.
