Baruch 3:11

Baruch 3:11 Context

⁸Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God. ⁹Hear, Israel, the commandments of life: give ear to understand wisdom. ¹⁰How happeneth it Israel, that thou art in thine enemies' land, that thou art waxen old in a strange country, that thou art defiled with the dead, ¹¹That thou art counted with them that go down into the grave? ¹²Thou hast forsaken the fountain of wisdom. ¹³For if thou hadst walked in the way of God, thou shouldest have dwelled in peace for ever. ¹⁴Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is understanding; that thou mayest know also where is length of days, and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace.
