Backsliding » Sin of, to be confessed
You are aware of our many rebellious acts. Our sins testify against us. Our rebellious acts are with us. We know our iniquities. We rebelled and denied Jehovah. We turned away from our God. We spoke about oppression and revolt. We conceived and uttered lies in our hearts. Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away. Truth has fallen in the street, and honesty cannot come in.
Admit that you have done wrong! You have rebelled against Jehovah your God. You have given yourself to foreign gods under every large tree. You have not obeyed me,' says Jehovah.
Verse Concepts
Do something, Jehovah, for the sake of your name, even though our iniquities testify against us. We have been unfaithful (like apostates) and have sinned against you. You are Israel's hope, its savior in times of trouble. Why are you like a stranger in the land, like a traveler who stays only one night? Why are you like someone taken by surprise, like a mighty man who cannot help? You, O Jehovah, are among us. We are called by your name. Do not leave us!

We grope like people without eyes. We stumble at noon as if it were evening. We are like dead people among the living. We all growl like bears. We coo like doves. We hope for justice, but there is none. We hope for salvation, but it is far from us. read more.
