Baruch 1:17

17 because we have sinned before the Lord,

Baruch 1:17 In-Context

15 "And you shall say: `Righteousness belongs to the Lord our God, but confusion of face, as at this day, to us, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

16 and to our kings and our princes and our priests and our prophets and our fathers,

17 because we have sinned before the Lord,

18 and have disobeyed him, and have not heeded the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the statutes of the Lord which he set before us.

19 From the day when the Lord brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt until today, we have been disobedient to the Lord our God, and we have been negligent, in not heeding his voice.
