14 “ ‘However, if you will not listen to me or keep all these commandments,+

17 I will set my face against you, and you will be defeated by your enemies;+ and those who hate you will tread on you,+ and you will flee when no one is pursuing you.+

8 Pardon me, O Jehovah, what can I say now that Israel has retreated* before his enemies?

11 Israel has sinned. They have violated my covenant+ that I commanded them to keep. They took some of what was devoted to destruction,+ stealing+ it and secretly putting it among their own possessions.+
