4 Everything you do is right;your decisions bring justice.
5 You were right to punish usand to destroy holy Jerusalem,the city of our ancestors.Our people have sinned;
6 we have broken all your lawsand turned away from you.
7 We have disobeyed,even though your commandswere for our own good.
8 You were right to punish us
9 and to let us be conqueredby our hateful enemies.They refuse to obey your Law,and the most evil king on earthis their ruler.
10 They insult us, your servants.We are a disgraceand have no excuse.But we worship and obey you.
