3. That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter.
4. And he hath delivered them up to be under the hand of all the kings that are round about us, to be a reproach, and desolation among all the people, among whom the Lord hath scattered us.
5. And we are brought under, and are not uppermost: because we have sinned against the Lord our God, by not obeying his voice.
6. To the Lord our God belongeth justice: but to us, and to our fathers confusion of face, as at this day.
7. For the Lord hath pronounced against us all these evils that are come upon us:
8. And we have not entreated the face of the Lord our God, that we might return every one of us from our most wicked ways.
9. And the Lord hath watched over us for evil, and hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is just in all his works which he hath commanded us:
10. And we have not hearkened to his voice to walk in the commandments of the Lord which he hath set before us.
11. And now, O Lord God of Israel, who hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and with signs, and with wonders, and with thy great power, and with a mighty arm, and hast made thee a name as at this day,
12. We have sinned, we have done wickedly, we have acted unjustly, O Lord our God, against all thy justices.
13. Let thy wrath be turned away from us: for we are left a few among the nations where thou hast scattered us.
