Baruch 1:15 In-Context

13 Pray for us to the Lord our God because we have sinned against the Lord our God. Even now, the Lord's wrath and anger haven't turned away from us.

14 Read aloud this scroll that we sent to you to make it public in the Lord's house on every festival day and appointed time.

15 You will say: Justice is on the side of the Lord God, but public shame is upon us today, upon everyone in Judah, upon those living in Jerusalem,

17 upon all of us who have sinned against the Lord.
