And said, I beseech thee, O LORDGod of heaven, the great and terribleGod, that keepethcovenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
6
Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyesopen, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I praybefore thee now,day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father'shouse have sinned.
7
We have dealt verycorruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servantMoses.
8
Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servantMoses,saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
9
But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
10
Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy greatpower, and by thy stronghand.
11
O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king'scupbearer.
