Baruch 4:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 You turned your back on the Everlasting[a] who nourished you,
and caused sorrow for Jerusalem who reared you.
9 She saw the wrath of God descending upon you,
and she exclaimed:
“Listen, you neighbors of Zion.
God has afflicted me with great sorrow.
10 For I have beheld the exile of my sons and daughters
that the Everlasting has brought upon them.
Footnotes
- Baruch 4:8 The Everlasting: the Greek translator of chapter 4 (see vv. 8, 10, 14, 20, 22, 24, 35) has, with felicitous intuition, rendered by the word “Everlasting,” the Hebraic name, Yahweh (Ex 3:14-15).
