Lamentations
In a communal shift, the text says, “Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the LORD.” It pairs this with lifting hearts and hands to God and confessing transgression and rebellion (Lamentations 3:40–42).
40Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh.
41Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
42We have transgressed and have rebelled; you have not pardoned.
