Baruch 1:17

17 for we have sinned before the Lord

Baruch 1:17 In-Context

15 "And ye shall say: `To the Lord our God belongeth righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it has come to pass this day unto them of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

16 and to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers;

17 for we have sinned before the Lord

18 and disobeyed Him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God to walk in the commandments that He gave us openly.

19 Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing His voice.
