29 And1 testified against them,
That You might bring them back to Your law.
Yet they acted1 proudly,
And did not heed Your commandments,
But sinned against Your judgments,
a‘Which if a man does, he shall live by them.’
And they shrugged their shoulders,
1Stiffened their necks,
And would not hear.

The great, the amighty, and awesome God,
Who keeps covenant and mercy:
Do not let all the1 trouble seem small before You
That has come upon us,
Our kings and our princes,
Our priests and our prophets,
Our fathers and on all Your people,
bFrom the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.
