BRAGADAYJAH
1200
The Levites Confession continued.
“ Nevertheless for Thy great mercies sake, Thou did not utterly consume or
forsake them; for thou art gracious and merciful. Now therefore, our God, the
great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keeps covenants and mercy, let not
all this trouble that has come upon us, our kings, our princes, our priests our
prophets, our fathers and our people, since the time of the Kings of Assyria
unto this day, seem little before Thee. However, because Thou art just in all
that is brought upon us, for you have done right while we have done wickedly,
neither have our kings, our princes, our priests nor our fathers kept your law
nor hearkened unto your commandments; and thy testimonies wherein thou did testify
against them; for they have not served thee in their kingdom; and they have
grieved thee in Thy great goodness. Therefore we are servants this day. And the
land you gave to our fathers which yielded much, were given to them that now
rule over us; because of our sins; and they rule over our bodies and distress
us.
