You gave us as plunder, for captivity, for death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed. (WEB) 5 Now your judgments are many and true, that you should deal with me according to my sins and the sins of my fathers, because we didn’t keep your commandments, for we didn’t walk in truth before you.

Command that I be released from my distress, now, and go to the everlasting place. Don’t turn your face away from me.” (WEB)
