18:25 Far be it from you to do such a thing – to kill the godly with the wicked, treating the godly and the wicked alike! Far be it from you! Will not the judge
of the whole earth do what is right?”

Lamentations 1:18
Jerusalem Speaks:
צ (Tsade)
1:18 The Lord is right to judge me!
Yes, I rebelled against his commands.
Please listen, all you nations,
and look at my suffering!
My young women and men
have gone into exile.
Daniel 9:5-14
9:5 we have sinned! We have done what is wrong and wicked; we have rebelled by turning away from your commandments and standards.
9:6 We have not paid attention to your servants the prophets, who spoke by your authority
to our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors,
and to all the inhabitants
of the land as well.
9:7 “You are righteous, O Lord, but we are humiliated this day – the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you.
9:8 O LORD, we have been humiliated – our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors – because we have sinned against you.
9:9 Yet the Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him.
9:10 We have not obeyed the LORD our God by living according to his laws that he set before us through his servants the prophets.
9:11 “All Israel has broken your law and turned away by not obeying you. Therefore you have poured out on us the judgment solemnly threatened in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against you.
9:12 He has carried out his threats against us and our rulers who were over us by bringing great calamity on us – what has happened to Jerusalem has never been equaled under all heaven!
9:13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, so all this calamity has come on us. Still we have not tried to pacify the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom from your reliable moral standards.
9:14 The LORD was mindful of the calamity, and he brought it on us. For the LORD our God is just in all he has done, and we have not obeyed him.
