Jeremiah 31:18-19
18I have heard aEphraim grieving,‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
like an untrained calf;
bbring me back that I may be restored,
for you are the Lord my God.
19For after cI had turned away, I relented,
and after I was instructed, dI struck my thigh;
eI was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
Daniel 9:7-14
7To you, fO Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, gthose who are near and hthose who are far away, in iall the lands to which you have driven them, because of jthe treachery that they have committed against you. 8To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because kwe have sinned against you. 9 lTo the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him 10 mand have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by nhis servants the prophets. 11 oAll Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, prefusing to obey your voice. qAnd the curse and oath rthat are written in the Law of sMoses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because twe have sinned against him. 12He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against uour rulers who ruled us, ▼▼Or our judges who judged us
by wbringing upon us a great calamity. xFor under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem. 13 yAs it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, zturning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth. 14 aaTherefore the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us, abfor the Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and acwe have not obeyed his voice. Micah 7:9
9 adI will bear the indignation of the Lordbecause I have sinned against him,
until aehe pleads my cause
and executes judgment for me.
afHe will bring me out to the light;
I shall look upon his vindication.
