¹⁵ I live in disgrace^(A) all day long,
    and my face is covered with shame^(B)

²⁶ “As a thief is disgraced^(A) when he is caught,
    so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
    their priests^(B) and their prophets.^(C)
27 They say to wood,^(D) ‘You are my father,’
    and to stone,^(E) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs^(F) to me
    and not their faces;^(G)
yet when they are in trouble,^(H) they say,
    ‘Come and save^(I) us!’

²⁵ Let us lie down in our shame,^(A)
    and let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned^(B) against the Lord our God,
    both we and our ancestors;^(C)
from our youth^(D) till this day
    we have not obeyed^(E) the Lord our God.”
