⁴⁸ and when they return to you with all their heart and all their soul
in the land of their enemies who took them captive,^(A)
and when they pray to you in the direction of their land
that you gave their ancestors,
the city you have chosen,^(B)
and the temple I have built for your name,

³³ You are righteous concerning all that has happened to us,
because you have acted faithfully,
while we have acted wickedly.^(A)

⁵ You welcome the one who joyfully does what is right;
they remember you in your ways.
But we have sinned, and you were angry.
How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?^[a]
6 All of us have become like something unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like a polluted^[b] garment;^(A)
all of us wither like a leaf,^(B)
and our iniquities^(C) carry us away like the wind.
⁷ No one calls on your name,
striving to take hold of you.
For you have hidden your face from us^(D)
and made us melt because of^[c][d] our iniquity.
