9 And they will have to say, ‘For the reason that they left Jehovah their God who had brought their forefathers out from the land of Egypt,+ and they proceeded to take hold of other gods+ and bow down to them and serve them. That is why Jehovah brought upon them all this calamity.’”+

18 Was it not this way that YOUR forefathers did,+ so that our God brought upon us all this calamity,+ and also upon this city? Yet YOU are adding to the burning anger against Israel by profaning the sabbath.”+

11 And all those of Israel have overstepped your law, and there has been a turning aside by not obeying your voice,+ so that you poured out upon us the curse and the sworn oath+ that is written in the law of Moses the servant of the [true] God, for we have sinned against Him.*
