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.

32 “And now, O our God, the God* great,+ mighty+ and fear-inspiring,*+ keeping the covenant+ and loving-kindness,*+ do not let all the hardship that has found us,+ our kings,+ our princes+ and our priests+ and our prophets+ and our forefathers+ and all your people from the days of the kings of As·syrʹi·a down to this day,+ seem little before you.+
