5
You have executed true judgments in all you have brought upon us and upon Jerusalem, the holy city of our ancestors; by a true judgment you have brought all this upon us because of our sins.
6
For we have sinned and broken your law in turning away from you; in all matters we have sinned grievously.
7
We have not obeyed your commandments, we have not kept them or done what you have commanded us for our own good.
8
So all that you have brought upon us, and all that you have done to us, you have done by a true judgment.
9
You have handed us over to our enemies, lawless and hateful rebels, and to an unjust king, the most wicked in all the world.
