"Every
curse written against us in the Law of Moses has come true. Yet we have
refused to seek mercy from the LORD our God by turning from our sins
and recognizing his truth. Therefore, the LORD has brought upon us the
disaster he prepared. The LORD our God was right to do all of these
things, for we did not obey him."
"The LORD our God was right to do all these things,"
