The Lord our God was right to do all of these things, for we did not obey him.

But we still did not obey him.

12 So you did what you said you would do to us and our rulers by bringing a great disaster on us.

Lord our God, we never tried to gain your favor by turning from our wrongs and dedicating ourselves to your truth. 14 So you were prepared to bring this disaster on us. Lord our God, you are righteous in everything you do. But we never listened to you.

We did not entreat the favor of the Lord our God, turning from our iniquities and reflecting on his fidelity. 14 So the Lord kept watch over this calamity until he brought it upon us. Indeed, the Lord our God is right in all that he has done; for we have disobeyed his voice.

But we haven’t obeyed you.
