8 “O Lord, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.
9 aTo the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him.
10 We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.
11 Yes, aall Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the bLaw of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him.
12 And He has aconfirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; bfor under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem.
13 a“As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; byet we have not made our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.
