Would You not be (D)angry with us until You had [a]consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor? 15 O Lord God of Israel, (E)You are righteous, for we are left as a remnant, as it is this day. (F)Here we are before You, (G)in our guilt, though no one can stand before You because of this!”
