6 For our fathers have acted unfaithfully+ and have done what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah our God,+ so that they left him+ and turned around their face away from the tabernacle of Jehovah+ and offered the back of the neck.

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.

16 “And they themselves, even our forefathers, acted presumptuously+ and proceeded to harden their neck,+ and they did not listen to your commandments.
