And read ye this book, which we have sent to you to be read in the temple of the Lord, on feasts, and proper days.

To our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers.
We have sinned before the Lord our God, and have not believed him, nor put our trust in him:
And we were not obedient to him, and we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his commandments which he hath given us.
From the day that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, we were disobedient to the Lord our God: and going astray we turned away from hearing his voice.

And we have gone away every man after the inclinations of his own wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the Lord our God.
