32 So now, our God—the great, mighty,

and awe-inspiring God who keeps his gracious covenantg—

do not view lightly all the hardships that have afflicted us,

our kings and leaders,

our priests and prophets,

our ancestors and all your people,

from the days of the Assyrian kingsh until today.

33 You are righteous concerning all that has happened to us,

because you have acted faithfully,

while we have acted wickedly.i
