16 But they were continually making jest+ at the messengers of the [true] God and despising his words+ and mocking+ at his prophets, until the rage+ of Jehovah came up against his people, until there was no healing.+

33 And you are righteous+ as regards all that has come upon us, for faithfully+ is how you have acted, but we are the ones that have done wickedly.+

14 All those intensely loving you are the ones that have forgotten you.+ You are not the one for whom they keep searching. For with the stroke of an enemy I have struck you,+ with the chastisement of someone cruel,+ on account of the abundance of your error;+ your sins have become numerous.+

17 And he went on to say to me: “Have you seen [this], O son of man? Is it such a light thing to the house of Judah to do the detestable things that they have done here, that they have to fill the land* with violence+ and that they should offend me again, and here they are thrusting out the shoot* to my nose?*

7 To you, O Jehovah,* there belongs the righteousness, but to us the shame of face as at this day,+ to the men* of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all those of Israel, those nearby and those far away in all the lands to which you dispersed them because of their unfaithfulness with which they acted against you.+

16 O Jehovah,* according to all your acts of righteousness,+ please, may your anger and your rage turn back from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain;+ for, because of our sins and because of the errors of our forefathers,+ Jerusalem and your people are an object of reproach to all those round about us.+
