Baruch 4:4-7 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. We have been happy, O Israel, because the things that are pleasing to God have been made clear to us.

5. Be ever more peaceful in soul, O people of God, the memorial of Israel.

6. You have been sold to the nations, not into destruction, but because of this, in resentment, you provoked God to wrath, and so you have been delivered to adversity.

7. For you have exasperated him who made you, the eternal God, by sacrificing to evil spirits, and not to God.
