This verse in Baruch 1:14 confirms James 5:16 - Confession of our sins to one another and to God. When we sin we sin against two people. God and our brother (which is in the body of Christ) If we harm our brother and sin against him, confessing only to God without reconciling with our brother is of no use. That is why Jesus said, when you bring an offering to be offered in the Temple and you remember you have hurt your brother, keep your offering aside, first go to your brother, reconcile with him and then offer your gift. The prodigal son, before coming to the father, made up his mind to tell the father " my father I sin against God and you" He sinned not only against God but his father too. He asked for forgiveness from both God and his father. So confessing our sins to one another, as James advised, is important because when we sin we sin against our brother which is the body of Christ.
