All those calamities with which the Lord threatened us have come upon us.
8
Yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord by turning away, each of us, from the thoughts of our wicked hearts.
9
And the Lord has kept the calamities ready, and the Lord has brought them upon us, for the Lord is just in all the works that he has commanded us to do.
10
Yet we have not obeyed his voice, to walk in the statutes of the Lord that he set before us.
11
And now, O Lord God of Israel, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and with signs and wonders and with great power and outstretched arm, and made yourself a name that continues to this day,
12
we have sinned, we have been ungodly, we have done wrong, O Lord our God, against all your ordinances.
13
Let your anger turn away from us, for we are left, few in number, among the nations where you have scattered us.
14
Hear, O Lord, our prayer and our supplication, and for your own sake deliver us, and grant us favor in the sight of those who have carried us into exile;
15
so that all the earth may know that you are the Lord our God, for Israel and his descendants are called by your name.
16
O Lord, look down from your holy dwelling, and consider us. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear;
17
open your eyes, O Lord, and see, for the dead who are in Hades, whose spirit has been taken from their bodies, will not ascribe glory or justice to the Lord;
