us, including the people of Judahand Jerusalem and all Israel,scattered near and far. 8O Lord,

we and our kings, princes, andancestors are covered with shamebecause we have sinned againstyou. 9But the Lord our God is

merciful and forgiving, eventhough we have rebelled againsthim 11All Israel has turned

away, refusing to listen to you.

So now the solemn curses andjudgments written in the Law ofMoses, the servant of God, have

been poured down on us becauseof our sin. 12You have kept yourword and done to us and our

rulers exactly as you warned.Never has there been such adisaster as happened inJerusalem. 13Every curse written

in the Law of Moses has cometrue. Yet we have refused to seekmercy from the Lord our God by

turning from our sins.
