1Kings:8:46-53

*
If they sin against thee , (
for there is no man that sinneth not ,)
and thou be angry with them ,
and deliver them to the enemy ,
so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy ,
far or near ;
*
Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives ,
and repent ,
and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives ,
saying ,
We have sinned ,
and have done perversely ,
we have committed wickedness ;
*
And so return unto thee with all their heart ,
and with all their soul ,
in the land of their enemies ,
which led them away captive ,
and pray unto thee toward their land ,
which thou gavest unto their fathers ,
the city which thou hast chosen ,
and the house which I have built for thy name :
*
Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place ,
and maintain their cause ,
*
And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee ,
and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee ,
and give them compassion before them who carried them captive ,
that they may have compassion on them :
*
For they be thy people ,
and thine inheritance ,
which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt ,
from the midst of the furnace of iron :
*
That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant ,
and unto the supplication of thy people Israel Yisra #
el #,
to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee .
*
For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth ,
to be thine inheritance ,
as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant ,
when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt ,
O Lord GOD .
