- Intro Baruch - Overview Baruch teaches the exiled people of God to confess truthfully, seek wisdom, and receive restoration as mercy from the Lord.
- 1 Baruch 1 - The Scroll Read in Exile In Babylon the exiles hear Baruch's scroll, weep, fast, pray, and give, then begin the confession that righteousness belongs to the Lord.
- 2 Baruch 2 - Prayer for the Name of God The exiles' confession continues: they appeal to God's name, and the prayer ends in the promise of an everlasting covenant.
- 3 Baruch 3 - The Fountain of Wisdom The exile's prayer becomes a search for wisdom, and the Church hears in Baruch 3:35-37 the God who showed Himself on earth.
- 4 Baruch 4 - Zion Calls Her Children Home The wisdom poem ends in light and illumination, and Zion, a mourning mother, calls her children to seek the Everlasting their Saviour.
- 5 Baruch 5 - Put on the Beauty of Glory Jerusalem is called to put off mourning, receive the beauty of glory from God, and behold her children gathered in mercy and righteousness.
