1:16. To our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our
prophets, and to our fathers.
1:17. We have sinned before the Lord our God, and have not believed him,
nor put our trust in him:
1:18. And we were not obedient to him, and we have not hearkened to the
voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his commandments which he hath
given us.
1:19. From the day that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt,
even to this day, we were disobedient to the Lord our God: and going
astray we turned away from hearing his voice.
1:20. And many evils have cleaved to us, and the curses which the Lord
foretold by Moses his servant: who brought our fathers out of the land
of Egypt, to give us a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.
1:21. And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God
according to all the words of the prophets whom he sent to us:
1:22. And we have gone away every man after the inclinations of his own
wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the
Lord our God.
Baruch Chapter 2
A further confession of the sins of the people, and of the justice of
God.
2:1. Wherefore the Lord our God hath made good his word, that he spoke
to us, and to our judges that have judged Israel, and to our kings, and
to our princes, and to all Israel and Juda:
2:2. That the Lord would bring upon us great evils, such as never
happened under heaven, as they have come to pass in Jerusalem, according
to the things that are written in the law of Moses:
2:3. That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of
his own daughter.
2:4. And he hath delivered them up to be under the hand of all the kings
that are round about us, to be a reproach, and desolation among all the
people, among whom the Lord hath scattered us.
2:5. And we are brought under, and are not uppermost: because we have
sinned against the Lord our God, by not obeying his voice.
2:6. To the Lord our God belongeth justice: but to us, and to our
fathers confusion of face, as at this day.
2:7. For the Lord hath pronounced against us all these evils that are
come upon us:
2:8. And we have not entreated the face of the Lord our God, that we
might return every one of us from our most wicked ways.
2:9. And the Lord hath watched over us for evil, and hath brought it
upon us: for the Lord is just in all his works which he hath commanded
us:
2:10. And we have not hearkened to his voice to walk in the commandments
of the Lord which he hath set before us.
2:11. And now, O Lord God of Israel, who hast brought thy people out of
the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and with signs, and with wonders,
and with thy great power, and with a mighty arm, and hast made thee a
name as at this day,
2:12. We have sinned, we have done wickedly, we have acted unjustly, O
Lord our God, against all thy justices.
2:13. Let thy wrath be turned away from us: for we are left a few among
the nations where thou hast scattered us.
2:14. Hear, O Lord, our prayers, and our petitions, and deliver us for
thy own sake: and grant that we may find favour in the sight of them
that have led us away:
2:15. That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, and
that thy name is called upon Israel, and upon his posterity.
