5We have sinned and committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and from Your judgments:
6Neither have we listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but to us belongs confusion of face, as it is this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those near and those far off, through all the countries where You have driven them, because of their trespass which they have trespassed against You.
8O Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against You.
9To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him;
10Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.
