New King James Version
32 “Now therefore, our God,
The great, the (A)mighty, and awesome God,
Who keeps covenant and mercy:
Do not let all the [a]trouble seem small before You
That has come upon us,
Our kings and our princes,
Our priests and our prophets,
Our fathers and on all Your people,
(B)From the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.
33 However (C)You are just in all that has befallen us;
For You have dealt faithfully,
But (D)we have done wickedly.
34 Neither our kings nor our princes,
Our priests nor our fathers,
Have kept Your law,
Nor heeded Your commandments and Your testimonies,
With which You testified against them.
