16 Now when I had delivered ythe evidence of the purchase unto uBaruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the Lord, saying, 17 Ah Lord God! behold, zthou hast made the heaven and the earth aby thy great power aand stretched out arm, and bthere is nothing ||too hard for thee: 18 cThou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and cdrecompensest the iniquity of the fathers deinto the bosom of their children after them: the Great, fthe Mighty God, gthe Lord of hosts, is his name, 19 hGreat in counsel, and mighty in †work: ifor thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: kto give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: 20 Which hast set lmsigns and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and mhast made thee na name, as at this day; 21 And nnhast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and owith a strong hand, and opwith a stretched out arm, and owith great terror; 22 And hast given them this land, qwhich thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, qra land flowing with milk and honey; 23 And they came in, and possessed it; sbut they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them: 24 Behold the ||mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and tthe city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, ubecause of the sword, uand of the famine, uand of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it. 25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, vBuy thee the field for money, and wtake witnesses; ||for tthe city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
