6 And I went on to say:+ “O my God, I do feel ashamed+ and embarrassed+ to raise my face to you, O my God, for our errors+ themselves have multiplied over our head and our guiltiness has grown great even to the heavens.+

26 “As with the shame of a thief when he is found out, so those of the house of Israel have felt shame,+ they, their kings, their princes and their priests and their prophets.+

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.+

10 “Like grapes in the wilderness I found Israel.+ Like the early fig on a fig tree in its beginning I saw the forefathers of YOU people.+ They themselves went in to Baʹal of Peʹor,*+ and they proceeded to dedicate themselves to* the shameful thing,+ and they came to be disgusting like [the thing of] their love.+
