ly,
and have revolted: and we have gone aside from thy commandments, and thy
judgments.

9:6. We have not hearkened to thy servants, the prophets, that have
spoken in thy name to our kings, to our princes, to our fathers, and to
all the people of the land.

9:7. To thee, O Lord, justice: but to us confusion of face, as at this
day to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all
Israel, to them that are near, and to them that are far off, in all the
countries whither thou hast driven them, for their iniquities, by which
they have sinned against thee.

9:8. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our princes, and to
our fathers, that have sinned.

9:9. But to thee, the Lord our God, mercy and forgiveness, for we have
departed from thee:

9:10. And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, our God, to
walk in his law, which he set before us by his servants, the prophets.

9:11. And all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have turned away

us: the Lord, our God, is just in all his works which he hath done: for
we have not hearkened to his voice.

9:15. And now, O Lord, our God, who hast brought forth thy people out of
the land of Egypt, with a strong hand, and hast made thee a name as at
this day: we have sinned, we have committed iniquity,

9:16. O Lord, against all thy justice: let thy wrath and thy indignation
be turned away, I beseech thee, from thy city, Jerusalem, and from thy
holy mountain. For by reason of our sins, and the iniquities of our
fathers, Jerusalem, and thy people, are a reproach to all that are round
about us.

9:17. Now, therefore, O our God, hear the supplication of thy servant,
and his prayers: and shew thy face upon thy sanctuary, which is
desolate, for thy own sake.

9:18. Incline, O
