²⁴ From our youth shameful^(A) gods have consumed
    the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
    their sons and daughters.

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.”
