2 H2233 And the seed H3478 of Israel H914 [H8735] separated H1121 H5236 themselves from all foreigners, H5975 [H8799] and stood H3034 [H8691] and confessed H2403 their sins, H5771 and the perversities H1 of their fathers.

3 H6965 [H8799] And they stood up H5977 in their place, H7121 [H8799] and read H5612 in the book H8451 of the law H3068 of the LORD H430 their God H7243 one fourth part H3117 of the day; H7243 and another fourth part H3034 [H8693] they confessed, H7812 [H8693] and worshipped H3068 the LORD H430 their God.

4 H6965 [H8799] Then stood H4608 upon the stairs, H3881 of the Levites, H3442 Jeshua, H1137 and Bani, H6934 Kadmiel, H7645 Shebaniah, H1138 Bunni, H8274 Sherebiah, H1137 Bani, H3662 and Chenani, H2199 [H8799] and cried H1419 with a loud H6963 voice H3068 to the LORD H430 their God.

5 H3881 Then the Levites, H3442 Jeshua, H6934 and Kadmiel, H1137 Bani, H2813 Hashabniah, H8274 Sherebiah, H1941 Hodijah, H7645 Shebaniah, H6611 and Pethahiah, H559 [H8799] said, H6965 [H8798] Stand up H1288 [H8761] and bless H3068 the LORD H430 your God H5769 to the age H5769 and ever: H1288 [H8762] and blessed H3519 be thy glorious H8034 name, H7311 [H8784] which is exalted H1293 above all blessing H8416 and praise.

6 H3068 Thou, even thou, art LORD H6213 [H8804] alone; thou hast made H8064 heaven, H8064 the heaven H8064 of heavens, H6635 with all their host, H776 the earth, H3220 and all things that are in it, the seas, H2421 [H8764] and all that is in them, and thou preservest H6635 them all; and the host H8064 of heaven H7812 [H8693] worshippeth thee.

7 H3068 Thou art the LORD H430 the God, H977 [H8804] who chose H87 Abram, H3318 [H8689] and broughtest him forth H218 from Ur H3778 of the Chaldees, H7760 [H8804] and gavest H8034 him the name H85 of Abraham;

8 H4672 [H8804] And foundest H3824 his heart H539 [H8737] faithful H6440 at the face of H3772 [H8800] thee, and madest H1285 a covenant H5414 [H8800] with him to give H776 the land H3669 of the Canaanites, H2850 the Hittites, H567 the Amorites, H6522 and the Perizzites, H2983 and the Jebusites, H1622 and the Girgashites, H5414 [H8800] to give H2233 it, I say, to his seed, H6965 [H8686] and hast raised H1697 thy words; H6662 for thou art righteous:

9 H7200 [H8799] And thou sawest H6040 the affliction H1 of our fathers H4714 in Egypt, H8085 [H8804] and heardest H2201 their outcry H5488 by the Red H3220 sea;

10 H5414 [H8799] And didst show H226 signs H4159 and wonders H6547 upon Pharaoh, H5650 and on all his servants, H5971 and on all the people H776 of his land: H3045 [H8804] for thou knewest H2102 [H8689] that they dealt proudly H6213 [H8799] against them. So didst thou get H8034 thee a name, H3117 as it is this day.

11 H1234 [H8804] And thou didst divide H3220 the sea H6440 at the face of H5674 [H8799] them, so that they went through H8432 the midst H3220 of the sea H3004 on the dry land; H7291 [H8802] and their persecutors H7993 [H8689] thou threwest H4688 into the deeps, H68 as a stone H5794 into the mighty H4325 waters.

12 H5148 [H8689] Moreover thou leddest H3119 them in the day H6051 by a cloudy H5982 pillar; H3915 and in the night H5982 by a pillar H784 of fire, H215 [H8687] to give them light H1870 in the way H3212 [H8799] in which they should go.

13 H3381 [H8804] Thou camest down H2022 also upon mount H5514 Sinai, H1696 [H8763] and spoke H8064 with them from heaven, H5414 [H8799] and gavest H3477 them right H4941 judgments, H571 and true H8451 laws, H2896 good H2706 statutes H4687 and commandments:

14 H3045 [H8689] And madest known H6944 to them thy holy H7676 sabbath, H6680 [H8765] and didst command H4687 them commandments, H2706 statutes, H8451 and laws, H3027 by the hand H4872 of Moses H5650 thy servant:

15 H5414 [H8804] And gavest H3899 them bread H8064 from heaven H7458 for their hunger, H3318 [H8689] and broughtest forth H4325 water H5553 for them out of the rock H6772 for their thirst, H559 [H8799] and didst promise H935 [H8800] them that they should go in H3423 [H8800] to possess H776 the land H3027 H5375 [H8804] which thou hadst sworn H5414 [H8800] to give them.

16 H1 But they and our fathers H2102 [H8689] dealt proudly, H7185 [H8686] and hardened H6203 their necks, H8085 [H8804] and hearkened H4687 not to thy commandments,

17 H3985 [H8762] And refused H8085 [H8800] to obey, H2142 [H8804] neither did they remember H6381 [H8737] thy wonders H6213 [H8804] that thou didst H7185 [H8686] perform among them; but hardened H6203 their necks, H4805 and in their rebellion H5414 [H8799] appointed H7218 a captain H7725 [H8800] to return H5659 to their bondage: H433 but thou art a God H5547 of forgiveness, H2587 gracious H7349 and full of compassion, H750 slow H639 to anger, H7227 and of great H2617 mercy, H5800 [H8804] and forsookest them not.

18 H6213 [H8804] Yea, when they had made H4541 them a molten H5695 calf, H559 [H8799] and said, H430 This is thy God H5927 [H8689] that brought thee H4714 out of Egypt, H6213 [H8799] and had wrought H1419 great H5007 provocations;

19 H7227 Yet thou in thy great H7356 compassions H5800 [H8804] forsookest H4057 them not in the wilderness: H5982 the pillar H6051 of the cloud H5493 [H8804] departed H3119 not from them by day, H5148 [H8687] to lead H1870 them in the way; H5982 neither the pillar H784 of fire H3915 by night, H215 [H8687] to show them light, H1870 and the way H3212 [H8799] in which they should go.

20 H5414 [H8804] Thou gavest H2896 also thy good H7307 Spirit H7919 [H8687] to instruct H4513 [H8804] them, and withheldest H4478 not thy manna H6310 from their mouth, H5414 [H8804] and gavest H4325 them water H6772 for their thirst.

21 H705 Yea, forty H8141 years H3557 [H8773] didst thou sustain H4057 them in the wilderness, H2637 [H8804] so that they lacked H8008 nothing; their clothes H1086 [H8804] did not wear out, H7272 and their feet H1216 [H8804] swelled not.

22 H5414 [H8799] Moreover thou gavest H4467 them kingdoms H5971 and peoples, H2505 [H8799] and didst divide H6285 them into corners: H3423 [H8799] so they possessed H776 the land H5511 of Sihon, H776 and the land H4428 of the king H2809 of Heshbon, H776 and the land H5747 of Og H4428 king H1316 of Bashan.

23 H1121 Their sons H7235 [H8689] also didst multiply H3556 thou as the stars H8064 of heaven, H935 [H8686] and broughtest H776 them into the land, H559 [H8804] concerning which thou didst promise H1 to their fathers, H935 [H8800] that they should go in H3423 [H8800] to possess it.

24 H1121 So the sons H935 [H8799] went in H3423 [H8799] and possessed H776 the land, H3665 [H8686] and thou didst subdue H6440 at the face of H3427 [H8802] them the inhabitants H776 of the land, H3669 the Canaanites, H5414 [H8799] and gavest H3027 them into their hands, H4428 with their kings, H5971 and the people H776 of the land, H6213 [H8800] that they might do H7522 with them as they would.

25 H3920 [H8799] And they took H1219 [H8803] strong H5892 cities, H8082 and a rich H127 soil, H3423 [H8799] and possessed H1004 houses H4392 full H2898 of all goods, H2672 [H8803] dug H953 wells, H3754 vineyards, H2132 and oliveyards, H3978 and fruit H6086 trees H7230 in abundance: H398 [H8799] so they ate, H7646 [H8799] and were filled, H8080 [H8686] and became fat, H5727 [H8691] and delighted H1419 themselves in thy great H2898 goodness.

26 H4784 [H8686] Nevertheless they were disobedient, H4775 [H8799] and rebelled H7993 [H8686] against thee, and cast H8451 thy law H310 behind H1458 their backs, H2026 [H8804] and slew H5030 thy prophets H5749 [H8689] who testified H7725 [H8687] against them to turn H6213 [H8799] them to thee, and they wrought H1419 great H5007 provocations.

27 H5414 [H8799] Therefore thou didst give H3027 them into the hand H6862 of their constricters, H6887 [H8686] who distressed H6256 them: and in the time H6869 of their tightness, H6817 [H8799] when they shrieked H8085 [H8799] to thee, thou heardest H8064 them from heaven; H7227 and according to thy great H7356 compassions H5414 [H8799] thou gavest H3467 [H8688] them liberators, H3467 [H8686] who liberated H3027 them out of the hand H6862 of their constricters.

28 H5117 [H8800] But after they had rest, H6213 [H8800] they did H7451 evil H7725 [H8799] again H6440 at the face of H5800 [H8799] thee: therefore thou leftest H3027 them in the hand H341 [H8802] of their enemies, H7287 [H8799] so that they had the dominion H7725 [H8799] over them: yet when they returned, H2199 [H8799] and cried H8085 [H8799] to thee, thou heardest H8064 them from heaven; H7227 and many H6256 times H5337 [H8686] didst thou deliver H7356 them according to thy compassions;

29 H5749 [H8686] And didst testify H7725 [H8687] against them, that thou mightest bring them again H8451 to thy law: H2102 [H8689] yet they dealt proudly, H8085 [H8804] and hearkened H4687 not to thy commandments, H2398 [H8804] but sinned H4941 against thy judgments, H120 (which if a man H6213 [H8799] doeth, H2421 [H8804] he shall live H5414 H5637 [H8799] in them;) and withdrew H3802 the shoulder, H7185 [H8689] and hardened H6203 their neck, H8085 [H8804] and would not hear.

30 H7227 Yet many H8141 years H4900 [H8799] didst thou forbear H5749 [H8686] over them, and didst testify H7307 against them by thy spirit H3027 in H5030 thy prophets: H238 [H8689] yet would they not give ear: H5414 [H8799] therefore thou gavest H3027 them into the hand H5971 of the people H776 of the lands.

31 H7227 Nevertheless for thy great H7356 compassions' H6213 [H8804] sake thou didst H3617 not utterly consume H5800 [H8804] them, nor forsake H2587 them; for thou art a gracious H7349 and full of compassion H410 God.

32 H430 Now therefore, our God, H1419 the great, H1368 the mighty, H3372 [H8737] and the terrible H410 God, H8104 [H8802] who keepest H1285 covenant H2617 and mercy, H8513 let not all the trouble H4591 [H8799] seem little H6440 at the face of H4672 [H8804] thee, that hath come H4428 upon us, on our kings, H8269 on our princes, H3548 and on our priests, H5030 and on our prophets, H1 and on our fathers, H5971 and on all thy people, H3117 since the time H4428 of the kings H804 of Assyria H3117 to this day.

33 H6662 But thou art just H935 [H8802] in all that is brought H6213 [H8804] upon us; for thou hast done H571 right, H7561 [H8689] but we have done wickedly:

34 H4428 Neither have our kings, H8269 our princes, H3548 our priests, H1 nor our fathers, H6213 [H8804] kept H8451 thy law, H7181 [H8689] nor pricked up their ears H4687 to thy commandments H5715 and thy testimonies, H5749 [H8689] with which thou didst testify against them.

35 H5647 [H8804] For they have not served H4438 thee in their kingdom, H7227 and in thy great H2898 goodness H5414 [H8804] that thou gavest H7342 them, and in the large H8082 and rich H776 land H5414 [H8804] which thou gavest H6440 at the face of H7725 [H8804] them, neither turned H7451 they from their wicked H4611 works.

36 H5650 Behold, we are servants H3117 this day, H776 and for the land H5414 [H8804] that thou gavest H1 to our fathers H398 [H8800] to eat H6529 the fruit H2898 of it and the good H5650 of it, behold, we are servants in it:

37 H7235 [H8688] And it yieldeth much H8393 increase H4428 to the kings H5414 [H8804] whom thou hast set H2403 over us because of our sins: H4910 [H8802] also they have dominion H1472 over our bodies, H929 and over our cattle, H7522 at their pleasure, H1419 and we are in great H6869 tightness.
