And now we have sinned before thee: therefore hast thou given us into the hands of our enemies,
35
Because we worshipped their gods: O Lord, thou art righteous.
36
Nevertheless it satisfieth them not, that we are in bitter captivity: but they have stricken hands with their idols,
37
That they will abolish the thing that thou with thy mouth hast ordained, and destroy thine inheritance, and stop the mouth of them that praise thee, and quench the glory of thy house, and of thine altar,
38
And open the mouths of the heathen to set forth the praises of the idols, and to magnify a fleshly king for ever.
