7 From the days of our forefathers+ we have been in great guiltiness until this day;+ and because of our errors we have been given, we ourselves, our kings,+ our priests,+ into the hand of the kings of the lands with the sword,+ with the captivity+ and with the plunder+ and with shame of face,+ just as this day.

22 Finally Jehovah was no longer able to put up with it because of the badness of YOUR dealings, because of the detestable things that YOU had done,+ and so YOUR land came to be a devastated place and an object of astonishment and a malediction, without an inhabitant, as at this day.+
