23 Indeed the hills have proved a delusion,
likewise the orgies on the mountains.
Truly the salvation of Isra’el
is in Adonai our God.
24 But from our youth the shameful thing [idolatry]
has devoured the fruit of our ancestors’ work,
their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.
25 Let us lie down in our shame,
let our disgrace cover us,
for we have sinned against Adonai our God,
both we and our ancestors,
from our youth until today;
we have not paid attention
to the voice of Adonai our God.”

23 Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills(A)
    and mountains is a deception;
surely in the Lord our God
    is the salvation(B) of Israel.
24 From our youth shameful(C) gods have consumed
    the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
    their sons and daughters.
25 Let us lie down in our shame,(D)
    and let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned(E) against the Lord our God,
    both we and our ancestors;(F)
from our youth(G) till this day
    we have not obeyed(H) the Lord our God.”
