Now in the twentyH6242 and fourthH702 dayH3117 of this monthH2320 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were assembledH622 with fastingH6685, and with sackclothesH8242, and earthH127 upon them.
And the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 separatedH914 themselves from all strangersH1121+H5236, and stoodH5975 and confessedH3034 their sinsH2403, and the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1. {strangers: Heb. strange children}
And they stood upH6965 in their placeH5977, and readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430 one fourth partH7243 of the dayH3117; and another fourth partH7243 they confessedH3034, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
Then stood upH6965 upon the stairsH4608, of the LevitesH3881, JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, KadmielH6934, ShebaniahH7645, BunniH1138, SherebiahH8274, BaniH1137, and ChenaniH3662, and criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430. {stairs: or, scaffold}
Then the LevitesH3881, JeshuaH3442, and KadmielH6934, BaniH1137, HashabniahH2813, SherebiahH8274, HodijahH1941, ShebaniahH7645, and PethahiahH6611, saidH559, Stand upH6965 and blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 for everH5769 and everH5769: and blessedH1288 be thy gloriousH3519 nameH8034, which is exaltedH7311 above all blessingH1293 and praiseH8416.
Thou, even thou, art LORDH3068 alone; thou hast madeH6213 heavenH8064, the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064, with all their hostH6635, the earthH776, and all things that are therein, the seasH3220, and all that is therein, and thou preservestH2421 them all; and the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 worshippethH7812 thee.
Thou art the LORDH3068 the GodH430, who didst chooseH977 AbramH87, and broughtest him forthH3318 out of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, and gavestH7760 him the nameH8034 of AbrahamH85;
And foundestH4672 his heartH3824 faithfulH539 beforeH6440 thee, and madestH3772 a covenantH1285 with him to giveH5414 the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, the HittitesH2850, the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the JebusitesH2983, and the GirgashitesH1622, to giveH5414 it, I say, to his seedH2233, and hast performedH6965 thy wordsH1697; for thou art righteousH6662:
And didst seeH7200 the afflictionH6040 of our fathersH1 in EgyptH4714, and heardestH8085 their cryH2201 by the RedH5488 seaH3220;
And shewedstH5414 signsH226 and wondersH4159 upon PharaohH6547, and on all his servantsH5650, and on all the peopleH5971 of his landH776: for thou knewestH3045 that they dealt proudlyH2102 against them. So didst thou getH6213 thee a nameH8034, as it is this dayH3117.
And thou didst divideH1234 the seaH3220 beforeH6440 them, so that they went throughH5674 the midstH8432 of the seaH3220 on the dry landH3004; and their persecutorsH7291 thou threwestH7993 into the deepsH4688, as a stoneH68 into the mightyH5794 watersH4325.
Moreover thou leddestH5148 them in the dayH3119 by a cloudyH6051 pillarH5982; and in the nightH3915 by a pillarH5982 of fireH784, to give them lightH215 in the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou camest downH3381 also upon mountH2022 SinaiH5514, and spakestH1696 with them from heavenH8064, and gavestH5414 them rightH3477 judgmentsH4941, and trueH571 lawsH8451, goodH2896 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687: {true…: Heb. laws of truth}
And madest knownH3045 unto them thy holyH6944 sabbathH7676, and commandedstH6680 them preceptsH4687, statutesH2706, and lawsH8451, by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 thy servantH5650:
And gavestH5414 them breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for their hungerH7458, and broughtest forthH3318 waterH4325 for them out of the rockH5553 for their thirstH6772, and promisedstH559 them that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 the landH776 which thou hadst swornH3027+H5375 to giveH5414 them. {which…: Heb. which thou hadst lift up thine hand to give them}
But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687,
And refusedH3985 to obeyH8085, neither were mindfulH2142 of thy wondersH6381 that thou didstH6213 among them; but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointedH5414 a captainH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondageH5659: but thou art a GodH433 ready to pardonH5547, graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and forsookestH5800 them not. {a God…: Heb. a God of pardons}
Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that brought thee upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, and had wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007;
Yet thou in thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 forsookestH5800 them not in the wildernessH4057: the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them in the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to shew them lightH215, and the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou gavestH5414 also thy goodH2896 spiritH7307 to instructH7919 them, and withheldestH4513 not thy mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, and gavestH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.
Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057, so that they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 waxed not oldH1086, and their feetH7272 swelledH1216 not.
Moreover thou gavestH5414 them kingdomsH4467 and nationsH5971, and didst divideH2505 them into cornersH6285: so they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, and the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.
Their childrenH1121 also multipliedstH7235 thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtestH935 them into the landH776, concerning which thou hadst promisedH559 to their fathersH1, that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 it.
So the childrenH1121 went inH935 and possessedH3423 the landH776, and thou subduedstH3665 beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavestH5414 them into their handsH3027, with their kingsH4428, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that they might doH6213 with them as they wouldH7522. {as they…: Heb. according to their will}
And they tookH3920 strongH1219 citiesH5892, and a fatH8082 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodsH2898, wellsH953 diggedH2672, vineyardsH3754, and oliveyardsH2132, and fruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230: so they did eatH398, and were filledH7646, and became fatH8080, and delightedH5727 themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898. {wells: or, cisterns} {fruit…: Heb. tree of food}
Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4775 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 which testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007.
Therefore thou deliveredstH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862, who vexedH6887 them: and in the timeH6256 of their troubleH6869, when they criedH6817 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and according to thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 thou gavestH5414 them savioursH3467, who savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862.
But after they had restH5117, they didH6213 evilH7451 againH7725 beforeH6440 thee: therefore leftestH5800 thou them in the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, so that they had the dominionH7287 over them: yet when they returnedH7725, and criedH2199 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and manyH7227 timesH6256 didst thou deliverH5337 them according to thy merciesH7356; {they did…: Heb. they returned to do evil}
And testifiedstH5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them againH7725 unto thy lawH8451: yet they dealt proudlyH2102, and hearkenedH8085 not unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thy judgmentsH4941, (which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them;) and withdrewH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085. {withdrew…: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}
Yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 didst thou forbearH4900 them, and testifiedstH5749 against them by thy spiritH7307 inH3027 thy prophetsH5030: yet would they not give earH238: therefore gavestH5414 thou them into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776. {forbear…: Heb. protract over them} {in thy…: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}
Nevertheless for thy greatH7227 mercies'H7356 sake thou didstH6213 not utterly consumeH3617 them, nor forsakeH5800 them; for thou art a graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349 GodH410.
Now therefore, our GodH430, the greatH1419, the mightyH1368, and the terribleH3372 GodH410, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617, let not all the troubleH8513 seem littleH4591 beforeH6440 thee, that hath comeH4672 upon us, on our kingsH4428, on our princesH8269, and on our priestsH3548, and on our prophetsH5030, and on our fathersH1, and on all thy peopleH5971, since the timeH3117 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117. {trouble: Heb. weariness} {that…: Heb. that hath found us}
Howbeit thou art justH6662 in all that is broughtH935 upon us; for thou hast doneH6213 rightH571, but we have done wickedlyH7561:
Neither have our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, our priestsH3548, nor our fathersH1, keptH6213 thy lawH8451, nor hearkenedH7181 unto thy commandmentsH4687 and thy testimoniesH5715, wherewith thou didst testifyH5749 against them.
For they have not servedH5647 thee in their kingdomH4438, and in thy greatH7227 goodnessH2898 that thou gavestH5414 them, and in the largeH7342 and fatH8082 landH776 which thou gavestH5414 beforeH6440 them, neither turnedH7725 they from their wickedH7451 worksH4611.
Behold, we are servantsH5650 this dayH3117, and for the landH776 that thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1 to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodH2898 thereof, behold, we are servantsH5650 in it:
And it yieldeth muchH7235 increaseH8393 unto the kingsH4428 whom thou hast setH5414 over us because of our sinsH2403: also they have dominionH4910 over our bodiesH1472, and over our cattleH929, at their pleasureH7522, and we are in greatH1419 distressH6869.
And because of all this we makeH3772 a sureH548 covenant, and writeH3789 it; and our princesH8269, LevitesH3881, and priestsH3548, sealH2856 unto it. {seal: Heb. are at the sealing, or, sealed}
