Baruch 4:19–27
19Go your way, O my children. Go your way, for I am left desolate.↗
20I have put off the garment of peace, and put on the sackcloth of my petition. I will cry to the Everlasting as long as I live.↗
21Take courage, my children. Cry to God, and he will deliver you from the power and hand of the enemies.↗
22For I have trusted in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy has come to me from the Holy One, because of the mercy that will soon come to you from your Everlasting Savior.↗
23For I sent you out with mourning and weeping, but God will give you to me again with joy and gladness forever.↗
24For as now those who dwell near Zion have seen your captivity, so they will shortly see your salvation from our God which will come upon you with great glory and brightness of the Everlasting.↗
25My children, suffer patiently the wrath that has come upon you from God, for your enemy has persecuted you; but shortly you will see his destruction and will tread upon their necks.↗
26My delicate ones have traveled rough roads. They were taken away like a flock carried off by enemies.↗
27Take courage, my children, and cry to God; for you will be remembered by him who has brought this upon you.↗
