40 Let us search and try our ways,and return to the Lord!
41 Let us lift up our hearts and handsto God in heaven:
42 We have transgressed and rebelled;You have not pardoned.
43 You have covered Yourself with anger and pursued us;You have killed and not pitied.
44 You have covered Yourself with a cloud,so that no prayer should pass through.
45 You have made us filthy refusein the midst of the peoples.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouthsagainst us.
