GIGAKJVAnd when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my cloak, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down appalled.

GIGAKJVThen were assembled to me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the rebellion of those that had been carried away. I sat stunned until the evening sacrifice.

GIGAKJVAnd said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God. For our wrongdoings are increased over our head, and our sin has grown up to the heavens.

KJVSince the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.

KJVAnd now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,

GIGAKJVAnd now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have abandoned your commandments,

GIGAKJVNow therefore do not give your daughters to their sons, do not take their daughters for your sons, and do not seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.

KJVAnd after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;

GIGAKJVAnd after all that has come on us for our evil deeds, and for our great sin, seeing that you our God have punished us less than our wrongdoings deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this.
