2

And the seedh2233 of Israelh3478 separatedh914h8735 themselves from all strangersh1121h5236, and stoodh5975h8799 and confessedh3034h8691 their sinsh2403, and the iniquitiesh5771 of their fathersh1. strangers: Heb. strange children

6

Thou, even thou, art LORDh3068 alone; thou hast madeh6213h8804 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 preservesth2421h8764 them all; and the hosth6635 of heavenh8064 worshippethh7812h8693 thee.

Thou art the LORDh3068 the Godh430, who didst chooseh977h8804 Abramh87, and broughtest him forthh3318h8689 out of Urh218 of the Chaldeesh3778, and gavesth7760h8804 him the nameh8034 of Abrahamh85;

8

And foundesth4672h8804 his hearth3824 faithfulh539h8737 beforeh6440 thee, and madesth3772h8800 a covenanth1285 with him to giveh5414h8800 the landh776 of the Canaanitesh3669, the Hittitesh2850, the Amoritesh567, and the Perizzitesh6522, and the Jebusitesh2983, and the Girgashitesh1622, to giveh5414h8800 it, I say , to his seedh2233, and hast performedh6965h8686 thy wordsh1697; for thou art righteoush6662:

9

And didst seeh7200h8799 the afflictionh6040 of our fathersh1 in Egypth4714, and heardesth8085h8804 their cryh2201 by the Redh5488 seah3220;

10

And shewedsth5414h8799 signsh226 and wondersh4159 upon Pharaohh6547, and on all his servantsh5650, and on all the peopleh5971 of his landh776: for thou knewesth3045h8804 that they dealt proudlyh2102h8689 against them. So didst thou geth6213h8799 thee a nameh8034, as it is this dayh3117.

11

And thou didst divideh1234h8804 the seah3220 beforeh6440 them, so that they went throughh5674h8799 the midsth8432 of the seah3220 on the dry landh3004; and their persecutorsh7291h8802 thou threwesth7993h8689 into the deepsh4688, as a stoneh68 into the mightyh5794 watersh4325.

12

Moreover thou leddesth5148h8689 them in the dayh3119 by a cloudyh6051 pillarh5982; and in the nighth3915 by a pillarh5982 of fireh784, to give them lighth215h8687 in the wayh1870 wherein they should goh3212h8799.

13

Thou camest downh3381h8804 also upon mounth2022 Sinaih5514, and spakesth1696h8763 with them from heavenh8064, and gavesth5414h8799 them righth3477 judgmentsh4941, and trueh571 lawsh8451, goodh2896 statutesh2706 and commandmentsh4687: true...: Heb. laws of truth

14

And madest knownh3045h8689 unto them thy holyh6944 sabbathh7676, and commandedsth6680h8765 them preceptsh4687, statutesh2706, and lawsh8451, by the handh3027 of Mosesh4872 thy servanth5650:

15

And gavesth5414h8804 them breadh3899 from heavenh8064 for their hungerh7458, and broughtest forthh3318h8689 waterh4325 for them out of the rockh5553 for their thirsth6772, and promisedsth559h8799 them that they should go inh935h8800 to possessh3423h8800 the landh776 which thou hadst swornh3027h5375h8804 to giveh5414h8800 them. which...: Heb. which thou hadst lift up thine hand to give them

16

But they and our fathersh1 dealt proudlyh2102h8689, and hardenedh7185h8686 their necksh6203, and hearkenedh8085h8804 not to thy commandmentsh4687,

17

And refusedh3985h8762 to obeyh8085h8800, neither were mindfulh2142h8804 of thy wondersh6381h8737 that thou didsth6213h8804 among them; but hardenedh7185h8686 their necksh6203, and in their rebellionh4805 appointedh5414h8799 a captainh7218 to returnh7725h8800 to their bondageh5659: but thou art a Godh433 ready to pardonh5547, gracioush2587 and mercifulh7349, slowh750 to angerh639, and of greath7227 kindnessh2617, and forsookesth5800h8804 them not. a God...: Heb. a God of pardons

18

Yea, when they had madeh6213h8804 them a moltenh4541 calfh5695, and saidh559h8799, This is thy Godh430 that brought thee uph5927h8689 out of Egypth4714, and had wroughth6213h8799 greath1419 provocationsh5007;

19

Yet thou in thy manifoldh7227 merciesh7356 forsookesth5800h8804 them not in the wildernessh4057: the pillarh5982 of the cloudh6051 departedh5493h8804 not from them by dayh3119, to leadh5148h8687 them in the wayh1870; neither the pillarh5982 of fireh784 by nighth3915, to shew them lighth215h8687, and the wayh1870 wherein they should goh3212h8799.

20

Thou gavesth5414h8804 also thy goodh2896 spirith7307 to instructh7919h8687 them, and withheldesth4513h8804 not thy mannah4478 from their mouthh6310, and gavesth5414h8804 them waterh4325 for their thirsth6772.

21

Yea, fortyh705 yearsh8141 didst thou sustainh3557h8773 them in the wildernessh4057, so that they lackedh2637h8804 nothing; their clothesh8008 waxed not oldh1086h8804, and their feeth7272 swelledh1216h8804 not.

22

Moreover thou gavesth5414h8799 them kingdomsh4467 and nationsh5971, and didst divideh2505h8799 them into cornersh6285: so they possessedh3423h8799 the landh776 of Sihonh5511, and the landh776 of the kingh4428 of Heshbonh2809, and the landh776 of Ogh5747 kingh4428 of Bashanh1316.

23

Their childrenh1121 also multipliedsth7235h8689 thou as the starsh3556 of heavenh8064, and broughtesth935h8686 them into the landh776, concerning which thou hadst promisedh559h8804 to their fathersh1, that they should go inh935h8800 to possessh3423h8800 it .

24

So the childrenh1121 went inh935h8799 and possessedh3423h8799 the landh776, and thou subduedsth3665h8686 beforeh6440 them the inhabitantsh3427h8802 of the landh776, the Canaanitesh3669, and gavesth5414h8799 them into their handsh3027, with their kingsh4428, and the peopleh5971 of the landh776, that they might doh6213h8800 with them as they wouldh7522. as they...: Heb. according to their will

25

And they tookh3920h8799 strongh1219h8803 citiesh5892, and a fath8082 landh127, and possessedh3423h8799 housesh1004 fullh4392 of all goodsh2898, wellsh953 diggedh2672h8803, vineyardsh3754, and oliveyardsh2132, and fruith3978 treesh6086 in abundanceh7230: so they did eath398h8799, and were filledh7646h8799, and became fath8080h8686, and delightedh5727h8691 themselves in thy greath1419 goodnessh2898. wells: or, cisterns
fruit...: Heb. tree of food

26

Nevertheless they were disobedienth4784h8686, and rebelledh4775h8799 against thee, and casth7993h8686 thy lawh8451 behindh310 their backsh1458, and slewh2026h8804 thy prophetsh5030 which testifiedh5749h8689 against them to turnh7725h8687 them to thee, and they wroughth6213h8799 greath1419 provocationsh5007.

27

Therefore thou deliveredsth5414h8799 them into the handh3027 of their enemiesh6862, who vexedh6887h8686 them: and in the timeh6256 of their troubleh6869, when they criedh6817h8799 unto thee, thou heardesth8085h8799 them from heavenh8064; and according to thy manifoldh7227 merciesh7356 thou gavesth5414h8799 them savioursh3467h8688, who savedh3467h8686 them out of the handh3027 of their enemiesh6862.

28

But after they had resth5117h8800, they didh6213h8800 evilh7451 againh7725h8799 beforeh6440 thee: therefore leftesth5800h8799 thou them in the handh3027 of their enemiesh341h8802, so that they had the dominionh7287h8799 over them: yet when they returnedh7725h8799, and criedh2199h8799 unto thee, thou heardesth8085h8799 them from heavenh8064; and manyh7227 timesh6256 didst thou deliverh5337h8686 them according to thy merciesh7356; they did...: Heb. they returned to do evil

29

And testifiedsth5749h8686 against them, that thou mightest bring them againh7725h8687 unto thy lawh8451: yet they dealt proudlyh2102h8689, and hearkenedh8085h8804 not unto thy commandmentsh4687, but sinnedh2398h8804 against thy judgmentsh4941, (which if a manh120 doh6213h8799, he shall liveh2421h8804 in them;) and withdrewh5414h8799h5637h8802 the shoulderh3802, and hardenedh7185h8689 their neckh6203, and would not hearh8085h8804. withdrew...: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder

30

Yet manyh7227 yearsh8141 didst thou forbearh4900h8799 them, and testifiedsth5749h8686 against them by thy spirith7307 inh3027 thy prophetsh5030: yet would they not give earh238h8689: therefore gavesth5414h8799 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

31

Nevertheless for thy greath7227 merciesh7356' sake thou didsth6213h8804 not utterly consumeh3617 them, nor forsakeh5800h8804 them; for thou art a gracioush2587 and mercifulh7349 Godh410.

32

Now therefore, our Godh430, the greath1419, the mightyh1368, and the terribleh3372h8737 Godh410, who keepesth8104h8802 covenanth1285 and mercyh2617, let not all the troubleh8513 seem littleh4591h8799 beforeh6440 thee, that hath comeh4672h8804 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

33

Howbeit thou art justh6662 in all that is broughth935h8802 upon us; for thou hast doneh6213h8804 righth571, but we have done wickedlyh7561h8689:

34

Neither have our kingsh4428, our princesh8269, our priestsh3548, nor our fathersh1, kepth6213h8804 thy lawh8451, nor hearkenedh7181h8689 unto thy commandmentsh4687 and thy testimoniesh5715, wherewith thou didst testifyh5749h8689 against them.

35

For they have not servedh5647h8804 thee in their kingdomh4438, and in thy greath7227 goodnessh2898 that thou gavesth5414h8804 them, and in the largeh7342 and fath8082 landh776 which thou gavesth5414h8804 beforeh6440 them, neither turnedh7725h8804 they from their wickedh7451 worksh4611.

36

Behold, we are servantsh5650 this dayh3117, and for the landh776 that thou gavesth5414h8804 unto our fathersh1 to eath398h8800 the fruith6529 thereof and the goodh2898 thereof, behold, we are servantsh5650 in it:

37

And it yieldeth muchh7235h8688 increaseh8393 unto the kingsh4428 whom thou hast seth5414h8804 over us because of our sinsh2403: also they have dominionh4910h8802 over our bodiesh1472, and over our cattleh929, at their pleasureh7522, and we are in greath1419 distressh6869.

38

And because of all this we makeh3772h8802 a sureh548 covenant , and writeh3789h8802 it ; and our princesh8269, Levitesh3881, and priestsh3548, sealh2856h8803 unto it . seal: Heb. are at the sealing, or, sealed
