We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.

The verse 20 is found in chapter 14 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah protests that false prophets promise peace and prosperity in God’s name. Yahweh responds by denouncing those prophets for speaking invented visions. The true prophet is caught between the divine message and the people’s suffering, while the final prayer acknowledges that only Yahweh can provide rain and salvation.

HERR, wir erkennen unser gottlos Wesen und unsrer Väter Missetat; denn wir haben wider dich gesündigt.
Reconocemos, oh Jehová, nuestra impiedad, la iniquidad de nuestros padres: porque contra ti hemos pecado.
Reconocemos, Jehová, nuestra maldad y la culpa de nuestros antepasados, porque hemos pecado contra ti.
Eternel, nous reconnaissons notre méchanceté, l'iniquité de nos pères; Car nous avons péché contre toi.
O Signore, noi riconosciamo la nostra malvagità, l’iniquità de’ nostri padri; perciocchè noi abbiam peccato contro a te.
Ah! SENHOR! conhecemos a nossa impiedade e a maldade de nossos pais; porque pecamos contra ti.
耶和華啊,我們承認自己的罪惡 和我們祖先的罪孽, 因我們得罪了你。
