Exegesis
The phrase avoneinu anu vanu {עֲוֺנֵ֙ינוּ֙ עָ֣נוּ בָ֔נוּ | ʿăwōnēnû ʿānû bānû} personifies the community’s iniquities as legal witnesses, with the verb anu {עָנוּ | ʿānû} ‘they have testified’ conveying formal indictment.
In context — Jeremiah 14:7
Even though our iniquities testify against us, LORD , act for the sake of Your name; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against You.
