7 From the days of our forefathers until this day our guilt has been great;+ and because of our errors, we, our kings, and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword,+ to captivity,+ to plunder,+ and to disgrace, as is the case today.+

5 we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled;+ and we have deviated from your commandments and your judgments.

8 “O Jehovah, to us belongs shame,* to our kings, our princes, and our forefathers, because we have sinned against you.
