Baruch 4:28–37
28For as it was your decision to go astray from God, return and seek him ten times more.↗
29For he who brought these calamities upon you will bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation.↗
30Take courage, O Jerusalem, for he who called you by name will comfort you.↗
31Miserable are those who afflicted you and rejoiced at your fall.↗
32Miserable are the cities which your children served. Miserable is she who received your sons.↗
33For as she rejoiced at your fall and was glad of your ruin, so she will be grieved at her own desolation.↗
34And I will take away her pride in her great multitude and her boasting will be turned into mourning.↗
35For fire will come upon her from the Everlasting for many days; and she will be inhabited by demons for a long time.↗
36O Jerusalem, look around you toward the east, and behold the joy that comes to you from God.↗
37Behold, your sons come, whom you sent away. They come gathered together from the east to the west at the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the glory of God.↗
