Baruch 4:11
King James VersionSource notes
“With joy did I nourish them; but sent them away with weeping and mourning.”
Context
8Ye have forgotten the everlasting God, that brought you up; and ye have grieved Jerusalem, that nursed you.
9For when she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, she said, Hearken, O ye that dwell about Sion: God hath brought upon me great mourning;
10For I saw the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting brought upon them.
11With joy did I nourish them; but sent them away with weeping and mourning.
12Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of many, who for the sins of my children am left desolate; because they departed from the law of God.
13They knew not his statutes, nor walked in the ways of his commandments, nor trod in the paths of discipline in his righteousness.
14Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember ye the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting hath brought upon them.
