²⁶     Now help Me remember. Let’s get this settled.
        State your case, and prove to Me that you are in the right.
²⁷     From the very beginning your founding father sinned,
        then your leaders defied My laws and instructions.
²⁸     So I brought disgrace on the princes of your sanctuary, your priests.
        I turned them over to barbarian assault,
    Leaving Jacob to the batterers, Israel to humiliation.
