⁴⁶“When they sin against you—for there is no one who does not sin^k—and you become angry with them and give them over to their enemies, who take them captive^l to their own lands, far away or near; ⁴⁷and if they have a change of heart in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead^m with you in the land of their captors and say, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, we have acted wickedly’;ⁿ ⁴⁸and if they turn back^o to you with all their heart^p and soul in the land of their enemies who took them captive, and pray^q to you toward the land you gave their ancestors, toward the city you have chosen and the temple^r I have built for your Name;^s ⁴⁹then from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause. ⁵⁰And forgive your people, who have sinned against you; forgive all the offenses they have committed against you, and cause their captors to show them mercy;^t ⁵¹for they are your people and your inheritance,^u whom you brought out of Egypt, out of that iron-smelting furnace.^v
