¹² So you have done what you promised to do to us and to our rulers. You have caused us to have terrible trouble. You have punished Jerusalem with more trouble than has ever happened to any other city. ¹³ All this trouble has come to us in the way that Moses wrote in the book of your laws. But we have still not tried to please you, the Lord our God. We have not turned away from our sins. We have not learned your true teaching. ¹⁴ So you were ready to punish us with this trouble. You are always right in everything that you do. You are right to punish us because we have not obeyed you.
