"Lord God of Heaven! You are great, and we stand in fear of you. You faithfully keep your covenant with those who love you and do what you command.
6
Look at me, Lord, and hear my prayer, as I pray day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess that we, the people of Israel, have sinned. My ancestors and I have sinned.
7
We have acted wickedly against you and have not done what you commanded. We have not kept the laws which you gave us through Moses, your servant.
8
Remember now what you told Moses: "If you people of Israel are unfaithful to me, I will scatter you among the other nations.
9
But then if you turn back to me and do what I have commanded you, I will bring you back to the place where I have chosen to be worshiped, even though you are scattered to the ends of the earth.'
