24 Ever since we were young,
    Baal has devoured everything
    for which our fathers toiled:
their flocks and their herds,
    their sons and their daughters.

    we and our ancestors,
from our youth even to this very day,
    and we failed to obey the voice of the Lord, our God.

    and let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned(C) against the Lord our God,
    both we and our ancestors;(D)
from our youth(E) till this day
    we have not obeyed(F) the Lord our God.”
