Baruch 2:16 CPDV

¹⁴  Heed, O Lord, our petitions and our prayers, and deliver us for your own sake, and grant that we may find favor before the face of those who have led us away,

¹⁵  so that all the earth may know that you are the Lord our God, and because your name has been invoked over Israel and over his posterity.

¹⁶  Gaze upon us, O Lord, from your holy home, and incline your ear, and heed us.

¹⁷  Open your eyes and see, because the dead, who are in the underworld, whose spirit has been taken away from their vital organs, will not give honor and justification to the Lord.

¹⁸  But the soul that is sorrowful for the greatness of evil, approaches bowed down and weak, and the failing eyes and the hungering soul give glory and justice to you, the Lord.
