16  even for our kings, and our leaders, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers.

16  And to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers

17  We have sinned before the Lord our God and we have not believed, lacking confidence in him.

17  For we have sinned before the Lord,

18  And we have not been submissive to him, and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God, so as to walk in his commandments, which he has given to us.

18  And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us openly

19  From the day that he led our fathers out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, we were unfaithful to the Lord our God, and, having been scattered, we fell away. We did not listen to his voice.

19  Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing his voice.

20  And we joined ourselves to many evils and to the curses which the Lord established through Moses, his servant, who led our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land flowing with milk and honey, just as it is in the present day.

20  Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as it is to see this day.

21  And we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God, according to all the words of the prophets whom he sent to us.

21  Nevertheless we have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, according unto all the words of the prophets, whom he sent unto us

22  And we have gone astray, each one after the inclinations of his own malignant heart, serving strange gods and doing evil before the eyes of the Lord our God.

22  But every man followed the imagination of his own wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the Lord our God.

2:1  “ ‘For this reason, the Lord our God has fulfilled his word, which he has spoken to us, and to our judges, who have judged Israel, and to our kings, and to our leaders, and to all Israel and Judah.

1  Therefore the Lord hath made good his word, which he pronounced against us, and against our judges that judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, and against the men of Israel and Juda,

2:2  And so the Lord has brought upon us great evils, such as never before happened under heaven, (but which have come to pass in Jerusalem according to what was written in the law of Moses)

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 were written in the law of Moses;

2:3  even that a man would eat the flesh of his son and the flesh of his daughter.

3  That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter.

2:4  And so he placed them under the hand of all the kings who surround us, in disgrace and desolation among all the people where the Lord has scattered us.

4  Moreover he hath delivered them to be in subjection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as a reproach and desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord hath scattered them.

2:5  And we were brought down low and were not raised up, because we sinned against the Lord our God, by not obeying his voice.

5  Thus we were cast down, and not exalted, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been obedient unto his voice.

2:6  To the Lord our God is justice, but to us and to our fathers is confusion of face, just as on this day.

6  To the Lord our God appertaineth righteousness: but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as appeareth this day.

2:7  For the Lord has pronounced against us all these evils, which have overcome us.

7  For all these plagues are come upon us, which the Lord hath pronounced against us

2:8  And we have not beseeched the face of the Lord our God, so that we might return, each one of us from our most sinful ways.

8  Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart.

2:9  And the Lord has watched over us for evil and has brought it upon us, because the Lord is just in all his works that he has commanded us,

9  Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us.

2:10  and we have not listened to his own voice, so as to walk according to the teachings of the Lord, which he has set before our face.

10  Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us.
