33
Ever since I was born I have heard in the tribe of my family that you, O Lord, took Israel out of all the nations, and our ancestors from among all their forebears, for an everlasting inheritance, and that you did for them all that you promised.
34
And now we have sinned before you, and you have handed us over to our enemies
35
because we glorified their gods. You are righteous, O Lord!
36
And now they are not satisfied that we are in bitter slavery, but they have covenanted with their idols
