Because of our sin and our ancestors’ sin, we were handed over—with our brothers, sisters, kings, and priests—to the kings of the earth for death, exile, and plunder. We continue to bear the shame until today.
I said: ‘O Lord, I am ashamed and confused before your face.
Because of our sins and the sins of our ancestors, we with our kindred and our kings and our priests were given over to the kings of the earth, to the sword and exile and plundering, in shame until this day.
I said, “O Lord, I am ashamed and confounded before thy face.
I said, Lord, I am confounded (or I am confused), and I am adread before thy face.
