5 We have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)}, and have committed iniquity{H5753}{(H8804)}, and have done wickedly{H7561}{(H8689)}, and have rebelled{H4775}{(H8804)}, even by departing{H5493}{(H8800)} from thy precepts{H4687} and from thy judgments{H4941}: 6 Neither have we hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} unto thy servants{H5650} the prophets{H5030}, which spake{H1696}{(H8765)} in thy name{H8034} to our kings{H4428}, our princes{H8269}, and our fathers{H1}, and to all the people{H5971} of the land{H776}. 7 O Lord{H136}, righteousness{H6666} belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion{H1322} of faces{H6440}, as at this day{H3117}; to the men{H376} of Judah{H3063}, and to the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Jerusalem{H3389}, and unto all Israel{H3478}, that are near{H7138}, and that are far off{H7350}, through all the countries{H776} whither thou hast driven{H5080}{(H8689)} them, because of their trespass{H4604} that they have trespassed{H4603}{(H8804)} against thee. 8 O Lord{H136}, to us belongeth confusion{H1322} of face{H6440}, to our kings{H4428}, to our princes{H8269}, and to our fathers{H1}, because we have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)} against thee. 9 To the Lord{H136} our God{H430} belong mercies{H7356} and forgivenesses{H5547}, though we have rebelled{H4775}{(H8804)} against him;

we have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)}, we have done wickedly{H7561}{(H8804)}. 16 O Lord{H136}, according to all thy righteousness{H6666}, I beseech thee, let thine anger{H639} and thy fury{H2534} be turned away{H7725}{(H8799)} from thy city{H5892} Jerusalem{H3389}, thy holy{H6944} mountain{H2022}: because for our sins{H2399}, and for the iniquities{H5771} of our fathers{H1}, Jerusalem{H3389} and thy people{H5971} are become a reproach{H2781} to all that are about{H5439} us. 17 Now therefore, O our God{H430}, hear{H8085}{(H8798)} the prayer{H8605} of thy servant{H5650}, and his supplications{H8469}, and cause thy face{H6440} to shine{H215}{(H8685)} upon thy sanctuary{H4720} that is desolate{H8076}, for the Lord's{H136} sake. 18 O my God{H430}, incline{H5186}{(H8685)} thine ear{H241}, and hear{H8085}{(H8798)}; open{H6491}{(H8798)} thine eyes{H5869}, and behold{H7200}{(H8798)} our desolations{H8074}{(H8802)}, and the city{H5892} which is called{H7121}{(H8738)} by thy name{H8034}: for we do not present{H5307}{(H8688)} our supplications{H8469} before{H6440} thee for our righteousnesses{H6666}, but for thy great{H7227} mercies{H7356}. 19 O Lord{H136}, hear{H8085}{(H8798)}; O Lord{H136}, forgive{H5545}{(H8798)}; O Lord{H136}, hearken{H7181}{(H8685)} and do{H6213}{(H8798)}; defer{H309}{(H8762)} not{H408}, for thine own sake, O my God{H430}: for thy city{H5892} and thy people{H5971} are called{H7121}{(H8738)} by thy name{H8034}. 20 And whiles I was speaking{H1696}{(H8764)}, and praying{H6419}{(H8693)}, and confessing{H3034}{(H8693)} my sin{H2403} and the sin{H2403} of my people{H5971} Israel{H3478}, and presenting{H5307}{(H8688)} my supplication{H8467} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068} my God{H430} for the holy{H6944} mountain{H2022} of my God{H430};

Now I had not been beforetime sad{H7451} in his presence{H6440}. 2 Wherefore the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, Why is thy countenance{H6440} sad{H7451}, seeing thou art not sick{H2470}{(H8802)}? this is nothing else but sorrow{H7455} of heart{H3820}. Then I was very{H3966} sore{H7235}{(H8687)} afraid{H3372}{(H8799)}, 3 And said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, Let the king{H4428} live{H2421}{(H8799)} for ever{H5769}: why should not my countenance{H6440} be sad{H3415}{(H8799)}, when the city{H5892}, the place{H1004} of my fathers{H1}' sepulchres{H6913}, lieth waste{H2720}, and the gates{H8179} thereof are consumed{H398}{(H8795)} with fire{H784}? 4 Then the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, For what dost thou make request{H1245}{(H8764)}? So I prayed{H6419}{(H8691)} to the God{H430} of heaven{H8064}. 5 And I said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, If it please{H2895}{(H8804)} the king{H4428}, and if thy servant{H5650} have found favour{H3190}{(H8799)} in thy sight{H6440}, that thou wouldest send{H7971}{(H8799)} me unto Judah{H3063}, unto the city{H5892} of my fathers{H1}' sepulchres{H6913}, that I may build{H1129}{(H8799)} it. 6 And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me,(the queen{H7694} also sitting{H3427}{(H8802)} by him{H681},) For how long shall thy journey{H4109} be? and when wilt thou return{H7725}{(H8799)}? So it pleased{H3190}{(H8799)}{H6440} the king{H4428} to send{H7971}{(H8799)} me; and I set{H5414}{(H8799)} him a time{H2165}. 7 Moreover I said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, If it please{H2895}{(H8804)} the king{H4428}, let letters{H107} be given{H5414}{(H8799)} me to the governors{H6346} beyond{H5676} the river{H5104}, that they may convey me over{H5674}{(H8686)} till I come{H935}{(H8799)} into Judah{H3063}; 8 And a letter{H107} unto Asaph{H623} the keeper{H8104}{(H8802)} of the king's{H4428} forest{H6508}, that he may give{H5414}{(H8799)} me timber{H6086} to make beams{H7136}{(H8763)} for the gates{H8179} of the palace{H1002} which appertained to the house{H1004}, and for the wall{H2346} of the city{H5892}, and for the house{H1004} that I shall enter into{H935}{(H8799)}.
