O LORD, we have been humiliated ¹  – our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors – because we have sinned against you.

Am I not ¹  permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ ² 

But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that the extraordinary power ¹  belongs to God and does not come from us.

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, ¹  until he comes to whom it belongs; ²  the nations will obey him. ³ 

“You shall not covet ¹  your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor.” ²
