Baruch 4:26

26 My children, I spoiled you with love, but you have had to follow rugged paths; you were carried off like sheep caught in an enemy raid.

Baruch 4:26 In-Context

24 Just as the neighboring cities watched as you were taken captive, so they will soon see the Eternal God coming in glorious splendor to rescue you.

25 My children, endure God's punishment with patience. Your enemies have persecuted you, but you will soon see them destroyed and at your mercy.

26 My children, I spoiled you with love, but you have had to follow rugged paths; you were carried off like sheep caught in an enemy raid.

27 "Take courage, my children, and cry out to God for help. He punished you, but he will not forget you.

28 Just as you were once determined to turn away from God, now turn back and serve him with ten times more determination.
