7 O Lord [0136], righteousness [06666] belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion [01322] of faces [06440], as at this day [03117]; to the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], and unto all Israel [03478], that are near [07138], and that are far off [07350], through all the countries [0776] whither thou hast driven [05080] them, because of their trespass [04604] that they have trespassed [04603] against thee.
8 O Lord [0136], to us belongeth confusion [01322] of face [06440], to our kings [04428], to our princes [08269], and to our fathers [01], because we have sinned [02398] against thee.
9 To the Lord [0136] our God [0430] belong mercies [07356] and forgivenesses [05547], though we have rebelled [04775] against him;
10 Neither have we obeyed [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430], to walk [03212] in his laws [08451], which he set [05414] before [06440] us by [03027] his servants [05650] the prophets [05030].
11 Yea, all Israel [03478] have transgressed [05674] thy law [08451], even by departing [05493], that they might not obey [08085] thy voice [06963]; therefore the curse [0423] is poured [05413] upon us, and the oath [07621] that is written [03789] in the law [08451] of Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of God [0430], because we have sinned [02398] against him.
12 And he hath confirmed [06965] his words [01697], which he spake [01696] against us, and against our judges [08199] that judged [08199] us, by bringing [0935] upon us a great [01419] evil [07451]: for under the whole heaven [08064] hath not been done [06213] as hath been done [06213] upon Jerusalem [03389].
13 As it is written [03789] in the law [08451] of Moses [04872], all this evil [07451] is come [0935] upon us: yet made we not our prayer [02470] before [06440] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], that we might turn [07725] from our iniquities [05771], and understand [07919] thy truth [0571].
14 Therefore hath the LORD [03068] watched [08245] upon the evil [07451], and brought [0935] it upon us: for the LORD [03068] our God [0430] is righteous [06662] in all his works [04639] which he doeth [06213]: for we obeyed [08085] not his voice [06963].
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned [02398], and done [06213] this evil [07451] in thy sight [05869]: that thou mightest be justified [06663] when thou speakest [01696], and be clear [02135] when thou judgest [08199].
33 Howbeit thou art just [06662] in all that is brought [0935] upon us; for thou hast done [06213] right [0571], but we have done wickedly [07561]:
