The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.

The Lord is righteous; for I have rebelled - the sure sign of repentance, to accept the punishment of her iniquity (Leviticus 26:41); justifying God, condemning herself (Nehemiah 9:33; Psalms 51:4; Daniel 9:7-14). Against his commandment - literally, mouth: His word in the mouth of the prophets. [Qoph (q)]
