Baruch 4:17
King James VersionSource notes
“But what can I help you?”
Context
14Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember ye the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting hath brought upon them.
15For he hath brought a nation upon them from far, a shameless nation, and of a strange language, who neither reverenced old man, nor pitied child.
16These have carried away the dear beloved children of the widow, and left her that was alone desolate without daughters.
17But what can I help you?
18For he that brought these plagues upon you will deliver you from the hands of your enemies.
19Go your way, O my children, go your way: for I am left desolate.
20I have put off the clothing of peace, and put upon me the sackcloth of my prayer: I will cry unto the Everlasting in my days.
