*
Now therefore ,
our God ,
the great ,
the mighty ,
and the terrible God ,
who keepest covenant and mercy ,
let not all the trouble seem little before thee ,
that hath come upon us ,
on our kings ,
on our princes ,
and on our priests ,
and on our prophets ,
and on our fathers ,
and on all thy people ,
since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day .
*
Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us ;
for thou hast done right ,
but we have done wickedly :
*
Neither have our kings ,
our princes ,
our priests ,
nor our fathers ,
kept thy law ,
nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies ,
wherewith thou didst testify against them .
*
For they have not served thee in their kingdom ,
and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them ,
and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them ,
neither turned they from their wicked works ma #
alal #.
*
Behold ,
we are servants this day ,
and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof ,
behold ,
we are servants in it :
*
And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins chatta #
ah #:
also they have dominion over our bodies ,
and over our cattle ,
at their pleasure ,
and we are in great distress .
