Context Reading
13“After all that has come on us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant, 14shall we again break your commandments, and join ourselves with the peoples that do these abominations? Wouldn’t you be angry with us until you had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant, nor any to escape? 15Yahweh, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold,we are before you in our guiltiness; for no one can stand before you because of this.”
