20. You are famous because you worked miracles in Egypt, and you are still working them in Israel and in the rest of the world as well.
21. You terrified the Egyptians with your miracles, and you reached out your mighty arm and rescued your people Israel from Egypt.
22. Then you gave Israel this land rich with milk and honey, just as you had promised our ancestors.
23. But when our ancestors took over the land, they did not obey you. And now you have punished Israel with disaster.
24. Jerusalem is under attack, and we suffer from hunger and disease. The Babylonians have already built earth ramps up to the city walls, and you can see that Jerusalem will be captured just as you said.
