7
And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we observed nor done as thou hadst commanded us, that it might go well with us.
8
Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment:
9
And thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies that are unjust, and most wicked, and prevaricators, and to a king unjust, and most wicked beyond all that axe upon the earth.
10
And now we cannot open our mouths: we are become a shame and reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship thee.
11
Deliver us not up for ever, we beseech thee, for thy name's sake, and abolish not thy covenant.
12
And take not away thy mercy from us for the sake of Abraham thy beloved, and Isaac thy servant, and Israel thy holy one:
13
To whom thou hast spoken, promising that thou wouldst multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is onthe sea shore.
14
For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are brought low in all the earth this day for our sins.
15
Neither is there at this time prince, or leader, or prophet, or holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of firstfruits before thee,
16
That we may find thy mercy: nevertheless in a contrite heart and humble spirit let us be accepted.
17
As in holocausts of rams, and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may please thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in thee.
