30 You were patient with them for many years.
You warned them by your Ruach through your prophets.
    However, they wouldn’t listen.
        So you handed them over to the people in the surrounding nations.
31 But your compassion is endless.
    You didn’t destroy them or abandon them.
        You are a merciful and compassionate El.

32 And now, our Elohim, you are the great, mighty, and awe-inspiring El.

            ancestors, and all your people
                from the time of the kings of Assyria until now.
