Baruch 2:5

5 They were brought down and not lifted up, because we sinned against the Lord our God by not listening to his voice.

Baruch 2:5 In-Context

3 Some of us ate the flesh of our sons and daughters.

4 God handed them over to be subjects of all the kingdoms around us—objects of insult and outcasts wherever the Lord scattered them.

5 They were brought down and not lifted up, because we sinned against the Lord our God by not listening to his voice.

6 Justice is on the side of the Lord our God, but public shame is upon us and upon our ancestors to this very day.

7 All these horrible things that the Lord had spoken came on us.
