Baruch 2:11-17

1. 11 And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this day:

2. 12 O Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done ungodly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances.

3. 13 Let thy wrath turn from us: for we are but a few left among the heathen, where thou hast scattered us.

4. 14 Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight of them which have led us away:

5. 15 That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name.

6. 16 O Lord, look down from thine holy house, and consider us: bow down thine ear, O Lord, to hear us.

7. 17 Open thine eyes, and behold; for the dead that are in the graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness:
