Baruch 4:2–6

2 Return, O Jacob, and take hold of it, walk in the way by its brightness, in the presence of the light thereof.

3 Give not thy honour to another, nor thy dignity to a strange nation.

4 We are happy, O Israel: because the things that are pleasing to God, are made known to us.

5 Be of good comfort, O people of God, the memorial of Israel:

6 You have been sold to the Gentiles, not for your destruction: but because you provoked God to wrath, you are delivered to your adversaries.

2 Turn, O Jacob, and take her;

walk toward the shining of her light.

3 Do not give your glory to another

or your advantages to a foreign nation.

4 Happy are we, O Israel,

for we know what is pleasing to God.

5 Take courage, my people,

who perpetuate Israel’s name!

6 It was not for destruction

that you were sold to the nations,

but you were handed over to your enemies

because you angered God.
