, and to the inhabitants of
Jerusalem,

Bar 1:16
And to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and
to our prophets, and to our fathers:

Bar 1:17
For we have sinned before the Lord,

Bar 1:18
And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of
the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us
openly:

Bar 1:19
Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of
the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been
disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in
not hearing his voice.

Bar 1:20
Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the
Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought

Bar 2:7

pronounced against us

Bar 2:8
Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might turn
every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart.
