Chapter 9
- 4 I prayed to the LORD, my God, and confessed, "Ah, Lord, great and awesome God, you who keep your merciful covenant toward those who love you and observe your commandments!
- 5 We have sinned, been wicked and done evil; we have rebelled and departed from your commandments and your laws.
- 6 We have not obeyed your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers, and all the people of the land.
- 7 Justice, O Lord, is on your side; we are shamefaced even to this day: the men of Judah, the residents of Jerusalem, and all Israel, near and far, in all the countries to which you have scattered them because of their treachery toward you.
- 8 O LORD, we are shamefaced, like our kings, our princes, and our fathers, for having sinned against you.
- 9 But yours, O Lord, our God, are compassion and forgiveness! Yet we rebelled against you
- 10 and paid no heed to your command, O LORD, our God, to live by the law you gave us through your servants the prophets.
- 5 We have sinned, been wicked and done evil; we have rebelled and departed from your commandments and your laws.
Chapter 79
- 7 For they have devoured Jacob, laid waste his home.
- 8 Do not hold past iniquities against us; may your compassion come quickly, for we have been brought very low.
- 10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes make clear to the nations that you avenge the blood of your servants.
- 12 Lord, inflict on our neighbors seven fold the disgrace they inflicted on you.
- 8 Do not hold past iniquities against us; may your compassion come quickly, for we have been brought very low.
Chapter 6
- 36 Be merciful, just as (also) your Father is merciful.
- 37 "Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.
- 38 Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you."
- 37 "Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.
