Baruch

A short book written from exile in Babylon and sent back to Jerusalem to be read aloud. It opens with a long prayer of confession, in which the people admit they disobeyed God and ask him to hear them, then turns to a poem about wisdom and where she is found. It ends with Jerusalem pictured as a widow whose children are coming home, told to take off her mourning clothes and look east.
