Righteousness and shame

7To you, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us belongs shame of face, as it is 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 where you have driven them, because of their unfaithfulness that they committed against you.

8O Lord, to us belongs shame of face—to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers—because we have sinned against you.

9To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.

10and we have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through his servants the prophets.

11All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, not listening to your voice. So the curse and the oath that are written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against him.
