15 O Jehovah the God of Israel, you are righteous,+ because we have been left over as an escaped people as at this day. Here we are before you in our guiltiness,+ for it is impossible to stand before you on account of this.”+

33 And you are righteous+ as regards all that has come upon us, for faithfully+ is how you have acted, but we are the ones that have done wickedly.+

12 You are righteous,+ O Jehovah, when I make my complaint to you, indeed when I speak even about matters of judgment with you. Why is it that the way of wicked ones is what has succeeded,+ that all those who are committing treachery are the unworried ones?

7 To you, O Jehovah,* there belongs the righteousness, but to us the shame of face as at this day,+ to the men* of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all those of Israel, those nearby and those far away in all the lands to which you dispersed them because of their unfaithfulness with which they acted against you.+
