Lie down

“As the thief is shamed when he is discovered,
So the house of Israel is shamed;
They, their kings, their princes
And their priests and their prophets,

O daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
And roll in ashes;

Mourn as for an only son,

A lamentation most bitter.
For suddenly the destroyer
Will come upon us.

and I said, “O my God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift up my face to You, my God, for our iniquities have risen above our heads and our guilt has grown even to the heavens.

Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor,

And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

Behold, all you who kindle a fire,
Who encircle yourselves with firebrands,
Walk in the light of your fire
And among the brands you have set ablaze.
This you will have from My hand:
You will lie down in torment.

The crown has fallen from our head;

Woe to us, for we have sinned!

They will gird themselves with sackcloth and shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads.

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.

Therefore what

benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death.

For we have sinned

“Have you not done this to yourself
By your forsaking the Lord your God
When He led you in the way?

Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them, and they will be consumed, and many evils and troubles will come upon them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have come upon us?’

and I said, “O my God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift up my face to You, my God, for our iniquities have risen above our heads and our guilt has grown even to the heavens.

I am not doing this for your sake,” declares the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel!”

“Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord,
“I remember concerning you the

devotion of your youth,

The love of your betrothals,

Your following after Me in the wilderness,

Through a land not sown.

Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt, and on account of our iniquities we, our kings and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity and to plunder and to

open shame, as it is this day.

“Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness,
Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You,
Which has come upon us, our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers and on all Your people,

From the days of the kings of Assyria to this day.

Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses,
But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

“You have not heard, you have not known.
Even from long ago your ear has not been open,
Because I knew that you would deal very treacherously;
And you have been called a

rebel from birth.

Our fathers sinned, and are no more;
It is we who have borne their iniquities.

Moreover, we have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers and all the people of the land.

And have not

“I spoke to you in your prosperity;
But you said, ‘I will not listen!’

This has been your practice from your youth,

That you have not obeyed My voice.

and as for you, you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed Me; what is this you have done?

“I have not listened to the voice of my teachers,
Nor inclined my ear to my instructors!

nor have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His teachings which He set before us through His servants the prophets.
