Baruch 4:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Let the neighbors of Zion come;
    remember the capture of my sons and daughters,
    which the Everlasting brought upon them.
¹⁵ For he brought against them a nation from afar,
    a shameless nation, of a strange language,
who had no respect for an old man,
    and had no pity for a child.
¹⁶ They led away the widow’s beloved sons,
    and bereaved the lonely woman of her daughters.
