We have acted corruptly toward You and have not kept the commands, statutes, and ordinances You gave Your servant Moses.

But our ancestors acted arrogantly;
they became stiff-necked and did not listen to Your commands.

You warned them to turn back to Your law,
but they acted arrogantly
and would not obey Your commands.
They sinned against Your ordinances,
which a person will live by if he does them.
They stubbornly resisted,
stiffened their necks, and would not obey.

You are righteous concerning all that has come on us,
because You have acted faithfully,
while we have acted wickedly.
