O Lord, (A)righteousness belongs to You, but to us shame of face, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those far off in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against You.

  1. Jeremiah 3:25 disgrace

26 “As the thief is ashamed when he is found out,
So is the house of Israel ashamed;
They and their kings and their princes, and their priests and their (A)prophets,
27 Saying to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a (B)stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
For they have turned their back to Me, and not their face.
But in the time of their (C)trouble
They will say, ‘Arise and save us.’

And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, (A)devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the (B)multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.

Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and (D)Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and [b]Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”
