“Zion said, ‘The Lord has abandoned me, the sovereign master has forgotten me.’

My heart beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.

For innumerable dangers surround me. My sins overtake me so I am unable to see; they outnumber the hairs of my head so my strength fails me.

I will do so because these people have rejected me and have defiled this place. They have offered sacrifices in it to other gods which neither they nor their ancestors nor the kings of Judah knew anything about. They have filled it with the blood of innocent children.
