4 I prayed to the Lord my God and ^jmade confession, saying, ^k“O Lord, the great and awesome God, who ^lkeeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 ^mwe have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. 6 We have ⁿnot listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7 ^oTo you, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those who are near and those who are far away, in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of the treachery that they have committed against you.
