Baruch 4:18-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. For he who has brought these evils upon you, will rescue you from the hands of your enemies.

19. Walk on, sons, walk on, for I have been abandoned and I am alone.

20. I have taken off the garment of peace and have put on the sackcloth of supplication, and I will cry out to the most High in my days.

21. Be ever more peaceful, sons. Cry out to the Lord, and he will rescue you from the hand of the hostile leaders.

22. For I have placed my hope in your eternal salvation, and joy approaches me from the Holy One, over the mercy which will come to you by our eternal salvation.

23. For I sent you forth with sorrow and weeping, but the Lord will restore you to me with joy and gladness for eternity.

24. For just as the neighbors of Zion have seen your captivity from God, so also will they soon see your salvation from God, which will overcome you with great honor and eternal splendor.

25. Sons, endure patiently the wrath that has come upon you, for your enemy has persecuted you, but you will quickly see his destruction and you will climb over his neck.
