48 and so convert themselves unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou didst give unto their fathers, toward the city which thou hast chosen and the house which I have built for thy name,

51 for they are thy people and thy inheritance, which thou didst bring forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace.
