When I
heard these words, I
sat down and
wept and
mourned for
days; and I was
fasting and
praying before the
God of
heaven.

let Your
ear now be
attentive and Your
eyes open to
hear the
prayer of Your
servant which I am
praying before You
now,
day and
night, on
behalf of the
sons of
Israel Your
servants,
confessing the
sins of the
sons of
Israel which we have
sinned against You; I and my
father's house have
sinned.
