Baruch 2:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Lord, look down on us from your holy house and think of us. Lord, bend your ear and listen. ¹⁷ Lord, open your eyes and look upon us. Surely the dead who are in the grave,^[a] whose spirit has been taken from their bodies, won’t acknowledge the Lord’s glory and justice! ¹⁸ But Lord, the one who is grieved, who goes about weak and bent over, whose eyes are failing and whose spirit is hungering—that one will acknowledge your glory and righteousness.
