1 took the vessels of the house of the Lord that had been carried away from the temple, to return them to the land of Judah—the silver vessels that Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, had made
9 and incense, and prepare a grain offering, and offer them on the altar of the Lord our God,
11 of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and under the protection of his son Belshazzar, and we shall serve them many days and find favor in their sight.
13Pray also for us to the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God, and to this day the anger of the Lord and his wrath have not turned away from us.
14Hos 9.5And you shall read aloud this scroll that we are sending you, to make your confession in the house of the Lord on the days of the festivals and at appointed seasons.
Confession of Sins15 Neh 9.32–34; Ps 44.15; Dan 9.7; Bar 2.6 “And you shall say: To the Lord our God belongs righteousness, but to us, this day, public shame, on the people of Judah, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
16and on our kings, our rulers, our priests, our prophets, and our ancestors,
17because we have sinned before the Lord.
18Dan 9.6, 10; Bar 2.10We have disobeyed him and have not heeded the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the statutes of the Lord that he set before us.
192 Kings 21.15; Jer 7.25From the time when the Lord brought our ancestors out of the land of Egypt until today, we have been disobedient to the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not listening to his voice.
20Ex 3.8; Deut 28.15–68; Bar 3.4; 4.29So to this day there have clung to us the calamities and the curse that the Lord declared through his servant Moses at the time when he brought our ancestors out of the land of Egypt to give to us a land flowing with milk and honey.
212 Chr 36.15; Jer 25.3, 4We did not listen to the voice of the Lord our God in all the words of the prophets whom he sent to us,
22but all of us followed the intent of our own wicked hearts by serving other gods and doing what is evil in the sight of the Lord our God.
