Then Jeremiah ran and announced these things to Baruch, and when they had come into the house of God, Jeremiah tore his garments and put dust upon his head, and entered into the sanctuary of God.
And when Baruch saw him with dust strewn upon his head and his garments torn, he cried out with a loud voice, saying: Father Jeremiah, what is the matter with you, or what sin has the people committed?
And Jeremiah said to him: Refrain from tearing your garments; rather let us tear our hearts. And let us not draw water for the troughs, but let us weep and fill them with tears; for the Lord will not have mercy on this people.
