5. In all the things that you have brought upon us, and upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, you have executed true judgements: for according to truth and justice have you brought all these things upon us because of our sins.
6. For we have sinned and committed iniquity, in departing from you.

10. And now we can’t open our mouth; shame and reproach have befallen your servants, and them that worship you.
11. Deliver us not up utterly, for your name’s sake, neither disannul you your covenant:
12. and cause not your mercy to depart from us, for the sake of Abraham that is beloved of you, and for the sake of Isaac your servant, and Israel your holy one;
13. to whom you did promise, that you would multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is upon the sea shore.

16. Nevertheless in a contrite heart and a humble spirit let us be accepted;
