⁴⁶“When they sin against You (for ^athere is no man who does not sin) and You are angry with them and deliver them to an enemy, so that ¹they take them away captive ^bto the land of the enemy, far off or near;

⁴⁷^aif they ¹take thought in the land where they have been taken captive, and repent and make supplication to You in the land of those who have taken them captive, saying, ‘^bWe have sinned and have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly’;

⁴⁸^aif they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and ^bpray to You toward their land which You have given to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for Your name;

⁴⁹then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven Your dwelling place, and maintain their ¹cause,

⁵⁰and forgive Your people who have sinned against You and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You, and ^amake them objects of compassion before those who have taken them captive, that they may have compassion on them
