⁶ We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors^[a] and to all the people of the land.

⁷ “Righteousness belongs to you, O Lord,^[b] and on us is open shame, just as it is this day to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all Israel, those who are near and those who are far off^[c] in all the lands to which you have driven them,^[d] because of their infidelity which they displayed against you. ⁸ Yahweh, on us is open shame, on our kings, on our princes, and on our ancestors,^[e] because we have sinned against you.
