And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping Your covenant and Your mercy, let not all this trouble seem little in Your sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all Your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria even to this day.

Her scum shall become shameful, because you defiled yourself; and what if you shall be purged no more until I have accomplished My wrath?

I the Lord have spoken; and it shall come, and I will do [it]; I will not delay, neither will I have any mercy: I will judge you, says the Lord, according to your ways, and according to your devices. Therefore will I judge you according to your bloodshed, and according to your devices will I judge you, you unclean, notorious, and abundantly provoking one.

Have you suffered so many things in vain--If indeed [they] really [were] in vain?

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.

HETH. [It is] [through] the mercies of the Lord that He has not failed me, because His compassions are not exhausted. Pity us, O Lord, early every month: for we are not brought to an end, because His compassions are not exhausted.

MEM. Why should a living man complain, a man concerning his sin?

NUN. Our way has been searched out and examined, and we will turn to the Lord.

O Lord, I have heard Your report, and was afraid: I considered Your works, and was amazed: You shall be known between the two living creatures, You shall be acknowledged when the years draw nigh; You shall be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, You will in wrath remember mercy.

And He remembered His covenant, and relented according to the multitude of His mercy.

And He caused them to be pitied in the sight of all who carried them captive.
