Judgment remembered

12He has confirmed his words that he spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster such as had not been done under all heaven, as it was done in Jerusalem.

13Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of Yahweh our God by turning from our iniquities and by gaining insight into your truth.

14So Yahweh kept watch over the disaster and brought it upon us, for Yahweh our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and we have not listened to his voice.

15And now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and made for yourself a name, as it is this day—we have sinned; we have acted wickedly.
