⁴⁶“Everyone sins, so your people will also sin against you. You will become angry with them and hand them over to their enemies. Their enemies will capture them and take them away to their countries far or near. ⁴⁷Your people will be sorry for their sins when they are held as prisoners in another country. They will be sorry and pray to you in the land where they are held as prisoners, saying, ‘We have sinned. We have done wrong and acted wickedly.’ ⁴⁸They will truly turn back to you in the land of their enemies. They will pray to you, facing this land you gave their ancestors, this city you have chosen, and the Temple I have built for you. ⁴⁹Then hear their prayers from your home in heaven, and do what is right. ⁵⁰Forgive your people of all their sins and for turning against you. Make those who have captured them show them mercy. ⁵¹Remember, they are your special people. You brought them out of Egypt, as if you were pulling them out of a blazing furnace.

⁵²“Give your attention to my prayers and the prayers of your people Israel. Listen to them anytime they ask you for help. ⁵³You chose them from all the nations on earth to be your very own people. This is what you promised through Moses your servant when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt, Lord God.”
