Baruch 2:12-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. we have sinned, we become impious, we have acted unjustly, O Lord our God, against all your principles.

13. May your wrath be turned away from us because, having been forsaken, we are few among the irreligious where you have scattered us.

14. Heed, O Lord, our petitions and our prayers, and deliver us for your own sake, and grant that we may find favor before the face of those who have led us away,

15. so that all the earth may know that you are the Lord our God, and because your name has been invoked over Israel and over his posterity.
