⁶² Although once you were as numerous as the stars in heaven, you shall be left few in number because you did not obey the Lord your God.^(A)

¹⁶ O Lord, in view of all your righteous acts, let your anger and wrath, we pray, turn away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because of our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors, Jerusalem and your people have become a disgrace among all our neighbors.^(A)
