⁵“Lord, God of heaven, you are the great God who is to be respected. You are loyal, and you keep your agreement with those who love you and obey your commands. ⁶Look and listen carefully. Hear the prayer that I, your servant, am praying to you day and night for your servants, the Israelites. I confess the sins we Israelites have done against you. My father’s family and I have sinned against you. ⁷We have been wicked toward you and have not obeyed the commands, rules, and laws you gave your servant Moses.

⁸“Remember what you taught your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations. ⁹But if you return to me and obey my commands, I will gather your people from the far ends of the earth. And I will bring them from captivity to where I have chosen to be worshiped.’

¹⁰“They are your servants and your people, whom you have saved with your great strength and power. ¹¹Lord, listen carefully to the prayer of your servant and the prayers of your servants who love to honor you. Give me, your servant, success today; allow this king to show kindness to me.”

I was the one who served wine to the king.
