5
Thus we were cast down, and not exalted, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been obedient unto his voice.
6
To the Lord our God appertaineth righteousness: but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as appeareth this day.
7
For all these plagues are come upon us, which the Lord hath pronounced against us
8
Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart.
9
Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us.
