5
You judged us fairly in all the things you've done to us and to Jerusalem, our ancestors' holy city. You were honest and fair in doing all these things to us because of our sins.
6
We sinned and broke the law by turning from you; we sinned in everything we did.
7
We didn't obey your commands; we didn't keep them or do as you ordered us, although the orders were for our own good.
8
All that you've brought upon us, all that you've done to us, has been fair.
9
You handed us over to our enemies, immoral rebels who hate God's laws, and to an unjust king, the most evil one in the whole world.
