3 Then I turned to the Lord God, to seek an answer by prayer and supplication with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.

4 I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, saying, "Ah, Lord, great and awesome God, keeping covenant and steadfast love with those who love you and keep your commandments,

5 we have sinned and done wrong, acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and ordinances.

6 We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our ancestors, and to all the people of the land.
