People of Judah, you have done wrong.\par So the rains and the harvest have not come.\par Your sins have kept you from enjoying\par those good things from the Lord.\par
“We know that those things are our fault.\par We are now suffering because of our sins.\par Lord, do something to help us for the good of your name.\par We admit that we left you many times.\par We have sinned against you.\par
You sinned, so the rain has not come.\par There have not been any springtime rains.\par But still you refuse to be ashamed.\par The look on your face is like the look\par that a prostitute has when she\par refuses to be ashamed.\par You refuse to be ashamed of what you did.\par
“The way you lived and the things you did\par brought this trouble to you.\par It is your evil that made your life so hard.\par Your evil life brought the pain\par that hurts deep in your heart.”\par
Your punishment is complete, Zion. {\cf2\super [32]} \par You will not go into captivity again.\par But the Lord will punish your sins,\par people of Edom.\par He will uncover your sins.\par
