"And it shall come to pass, [that] as I have watched over them to pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says the LORD.

'Behold, I will watch over them for adversity and not for good. And all the men of Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end to them.

"O Lord, righteousness [belongs] to You, but to us shame of face, as [it is] this day -- to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those far off in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against You.

However You [are] just in all that has befallen us; For You have dealt faithfully, But we have done wickedly.

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, [And] my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
