7. Thine, O Lord, is the righteousness, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their unfaithfulness in which they have been unfaithful against thee.
8. O Lord, unto us is confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
9. With the Lord our God are mercies and pardons, for we have rebelled against him;
10. and we have not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah our God to walk in his laws, which he set before us through his servants the prophets.
11. And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside so as not to listen unto thy voice. And the curse hath been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God for we have sinned against him.
12. And he hath performed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that there hath not been done under the whole heaven as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
13. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet we besought not Jehovah our God that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
