KJV ORIGINAL
O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
God, you're completely in the right here, but we? We're walking around with shame written all over our faces. That goes for everyone in Judah, everyone in Jerusalem, and honestly all of Israel — whether they're close by or scattered across different countries where you sent them. And it's because we messed up against you, plain and simple.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When we mess up, God's still righteous and we're left dealing with the consequences of our choices.
