⁷ Lord, righteousness belongs to you,^(A) but this day public shame belongs to us: the men of Judah, the residents of Jerusalem, and all Israel – those who are near and those who are far, in all the countries where you have banished them because of the disloyalty they have shown towards you. ⁸ Lord, public shame^(B) belongs to us, our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors, because we have sinned against you.^(C)

¹⁴ So the Lord kept the disaster in mind and brought it on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in all he has done. But we have not obeyed him.
