It is fascinating to me on a number of counts that they should say this. It is fascinating first of all that they should say it in a public letter to a pagan ruler, that the reason we are in the condition we are in is because our fathers sinned. Our fathers broke God's covenant. Our fathers transgressed. Our fathers made God angry. That is their conclusion. It is an open public confession of sin.1

12 Mais après que nos pères eurent irrité le Dieu des cieux, il les livra entre les mains de Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, le Chaldéen, qui détruisit cette maison et emmena le peuple captif à Babylone.
