Baruch 4:11

11 I nursed them joyfully, but I sent them away with tears and mourning.

Baruch 4:11 In-Context

9 Jerusalem saw the wrath of God that came on you and said: Neighbors of Zion, listen! God has brought me great grief.

10 I have watched my sons and daughters taken captive, the action of the eternal one.

11 I nursed them joyfully, but I sent them away with tears and mourning.

12 Don't any of you rejoice over me, a widow deserted by many. My children avoided God's Law, so I was stripped bare because of their sins.

13 They didn't acknowledge God's requirements, walk in the ways of God's commandments, or follow the paths in which his righteousness trained them.
