Baruch 2:8

8 But we didn't plead with the Lord so as to turn each one of us from the designs of our wicked hearts.

Baruch 2:8 In-Context

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.

8 But we didn't plead with the Lord so as to turn each one of us from the designs of our wicked hearts.

9 Thus has the Lord kept watch over our wicked deeds and brought this upon us. The Lord is just in every action that he commanded us to do,

10 but we didn't listen to the Lord's voice to walk by the commandments that the Lord gave to us.
