Go, enquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great [is] the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our (l) fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.
(l) Thus the godly not only lament their own sins, but also that their fathers and predecessors have offended God.
