Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

O Lord,righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a greatevil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
13
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayerbefore the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
14
Therefore hath the LORDwatched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
15
And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy peopleforth out of the land of Egypt with a mightyhand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16
O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy cityJerusalem, thy holymountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers,Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
