18 and disobeyed him. We have not listened to the voice of the Lord, our God, so as to follow the precepts the Lord set before us.
19 From the day the Lord led our ancestors out of the land of Egypt until the present day, we have been disobedient to the Lord, our God, and neglected to listen to his voice.
20 Even today evils cling to us, the curse the Lord pronounced to Moses, his servant, at the time he led our ancestors out of the land of Egypt to give us a land flowing with milk and honey.
21 For we did not listen to the voice of the Lord, our God, in all the words of the prophets he sent us,
22 but each of us has followed the inclinations of our wicked hearts, served other gods, and done evil in the sight of the Lord, our God.
