29. For we have sinned, and we have committed iniquity in withdrawing from you, and we have offended in all things.
30. And we have not listened to your precepts, nor have we observed or done as you have ordered us, so that it might go well with us.
31. Therefore, everything that you have brought upon us, and all that you have done for us, you have done in true judgment.
32. And you have delivered us into the hands of our enemies: traitors, unjust and most wicked, and to a king, unjust and most wicked, even more so than all others on earth.
33. And now we are not able to open our mouths. We have become a shame and a disgrace to your servants and to those who worship you.
34. Do not hand us over forever, we ask you, because of your name, and do not abolish your covenant.
35. And do not withdraw your mercy from us, because of Abraham, your beloved, and Isaac, your servant, and Israel, your holy one.
36. You have spoken with them, promising that you would multiply their offspring like the stars of heaven and like the sand on the seashore.
37. For we, O Lord, are diminished more than all other peoples, and we are brought low throughout all the earth, this day, because of our sins.
38. Neither is there, at this time, a leader, or a ruler, or a prophet, nor any holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of first fruits, in your eyes,
39. so that we may be able to find your mercy. Nevertheless, with a contrite soul and humble spirit, let us be accepted.
40. Just as in the holocausts of rams and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs, so let our sacrifice be in your sight this day, in order to please you. For there is no shame for those who trust in you.
41. And now we follow you wholeheartedly, and we fear you, and we seek your face.
