(Nun) My sins are bound around my neck like a yoke; they are fastened together by his hand. He has placed his yoke on my neck; he has sapped my strength. The Lord has handed me over to those whom I cannot resist.

(Nun) Your prophets saw visions for you that were worthless lies. They failed to expose your sin so as to restore your fortunes. They saw oracles for you that were worthless lies.

(Nun) Let us carefully examine our ways, and let us return to the Lord.

(Nun) They wander blindly through the streets, defiled by the blood they shed, while no one dares to touch their garments.
