2 Baruch
Chapter 79
- 1 Now, my brethren, learn first what befell Zion: how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against us.
- 2 For we have sinned against Him who made us, and we have not kept the commandments which he commanded us, yet he hath not chastened us as we deserved.
- 3 For what befell you we also suffer in a preeminent degree, for it befell us also.
