Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it upon us. For the LORD our God is righteous in all He does; yet we have not obeyed His voice.
To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but this day we are covered with shame—the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem,
You are just in all that has befallen us, because You have acted faithfully, while we have acted wickedly.
I am watching over them for harm and not for good, and every man of Judah who is in the land of Egypt will meet his end
Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, destroy, and bring disaster, so I will watch over them
