18 If I go into the country,
    I see people killed by swords.
If I go into the city,
    I see much sickness because the people have no food.

    that we cannot be made well again?
We hoped for peace,
    but nothing good has come.

    We admit that our ancestors did evil things.
    We have sinned against you.
