In context

11And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this day:

12O Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done ungodly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances.

— Baruch 2:13 —

14Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us favor in the sight of them which have led us away:

15that all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name.
