2 to bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that are written in the law of Moses;
3 That we should eat every man the flesh of his own son, and every man the flesh of his own daughter.
4 Moreover he has given them to be in subjection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be a reproach and a desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord has scattered them.
5 Thus were they cast down, and not exalted, because we sinned against the Lord our God, in not hearkening to his voice.
6 To the Lord our God belongs righteousness: but to us and to our fathers confusion of face, as at this day.
7 For all these plagues are come upon us, which the Lord has pronounced against us.
8 Yet have we not entreated the favor of the Lord, in turning every one from the thoughts of his wicked heart.
