Why does it say "we will lie down in our shame"?

1.

Radak: We went in our fathers' ways, and we are consumed in shame, like them. A man in great affliction who does not know what to do, he goes to sleep and lies down - "Im Tishkevun Bein Sefatayim" (Tehilim 68:14), "k'Shochev b'Lev Yam uch'Shochev b'Rosh Chibel" (Mishlei 23:34).

2.

Malbim: We cannot lift our head and do anything.

2)

What is the meaning of "our shame covered us"?

1.

Radak: This is like "u'Voshes Panai Kisasni" (Tehilim 44:16).

3)

Why does it say "mi'Ne'ureinu"?

1.

Radak: We did evil from our youth, like we saw our fathers do.

2.

Malbim: Since we sinned from our youth, we cannot repent.

4)

Why does it mention both Bushah and Kelimah?

1.

Malbim: Bushah is what one feels by himself. Kelimah is feeling ashamed due to others. The latter is the covering, for it is from the outside.
