1

Now in the twenty [6242] and fourth [0702] day [3117] of this month [2320] the children [1121] of Israel [3478] were assembled [0622] with fasting, [6685] and with sackclothes, [8242] and earth [0127] upon them.

2

And the seed [2233] of Israel [3478] separated [0914] themselves from all strangers, [1121] [5236] and stood [5975] and confessed [3034] their sins, [2403] and the iniquities [5771] of their fathers. [0001]

3

And they stood up [6965] in their place, [5977] and read [7121] in the book [5612] of the law [8451] of the LORD [3068] their God [0430] [one] fourth [7243] part of the day; [3117] and [another] fourth [7243] part they confessed, [3034] and worshipped [7812] the LORD [3068] their God. [0430]

4

Then stood up [6965] upon the stairs, [4608] of the Levites, [3881] Jeshua, [3442] and Bani, [1137] Kadmiel, [6934] Shebaniah, [7645] Bunni, [1138] Sherebiah, [8274] Bani, [1137] [and] Chenani, [3662] and cried [2199] with a loud [1419] voice [6963] unto the LORD [3068] their God. [0430]

5

Then the Levites, [3881] Jeshua, [3442] and Kadmiel, [6934] Bani, [1137] Hashabniah, [2813] Sherebiah, [8274] Hodijah, [1941] Shebaniah, [7645] [and] Pethahiah, [6611] said, [0559] Stand up [6965] [and] bless [1288] the LORD [3068] your God [0430] for ever [5769] and ever: [5769] and blessed [1288] be thy glorious [3519] name, [8034] which is exalted [7311] above all blessing [1293] and praise. [8416]

6

Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD [3068] alone; thou hast made [6213] heaven, [8064] the heaven [8064] of heavens, [8064] with all their host, [6635] the earth, [0776] and all [things] that [are] therein, the seas, [3220] and all that [is] therein, and thou preservest [2421] them all; and the host [6635] of heaven [8064] worshippeth [7812] thee.

7

Thou [art] the LORD [3068] the God, [0430] who didst choose [0977] Abram, [0087] and broughtest him forth [3318] out of Ur [0218] of the Chaldees, [3778] and gavest [7760] him the name [8034] of Abraham; [0085]

8

And foundest [4672] his heart [3824] faithful [0539] before [6440] thee, and madest [3772] a covenant [1285] with him to give [5414] the land [0776] of the Canaanites, [3669] the Hittites, [2850] the Amorites, [0567] and the Perizzites, [6522] and the Jebusites, [2983] and the Girgashites, [1622] to give [5414] [it, I say], to his seed, [2233] and hast performed [6965] thy words; [1697] for thou [art] righteous: [6662]

9

And didst see [7200] the affliction [6040] of our fathers [0001] in Egypt, [4714] and heardest [8085] their cry [2201] by the Red [5488] sea; [3220]

10

And shewedst [5414] signs [0226] and wonders [4159] upon Pharaoh, [6547] and on all his servants, [5650] and on all the people [5971] of his land: [0776] for thou knewest [3045] that they dealt proudly [2102] against them. So didst thou get [6213] thee a name, [8034] as [it is] this day. [3117]

11

And thou didst divide [1234] the sea [3220] before [6440] them, so that they went through [5674] the midst [8432] of the sea [3220] on the dry land; [3004] and their persecutors [7291] thou threwest [7993] into the deeps, [4688] as a stone [0068] into the mighty [5794] waters. [4325]

12

Moreover thou leddest [5148] them in the day [3119] by a cloudy [6051] pillar; [5982] and in the night [3915] by a pillar [5982] of fire, [0784] to give them light [0215] in the way [1870] wherein they should go. [3212]

13

Thou camest down [3381] also upon mount [2022] Sinai, [5514] and spakest [1696] with them from heaven, [8064] and gavest [5414] them right [3477] judgments, [4941] and true [0571] laws, [8451] good [2896] statutes [2706] and commandments: [4687]

14

And madest known [3045] unto them thy holy [6944] sabbath, [7676] and commandedst [6680] them precepts, [4687] statutes, [2706] and laws, [8451] by the hand [3027] of Moses [4872] thy servant: [5650]

15

And gavest [5414] them bread [3899] from heaven [8064] for their hunger, [7458] and broughtest forth [3318] water [4325] for them out of the rock [5553] for their thirst, [6772] and promisedst [0559] them that they should go in [0935] to possess [3423] the land [0776] which thou hadst [5375] sworn [3027] to give [5414] them.

16

But they and our fathers [0001] dealt proudly, [2102] and hardened [7185] their necks, [6203] and hearkened [8085] not to thy commandments, [4687]

17

And refused [3985] to obey, [8085] neither were mindful [2142] of thy wonders [6381] that thou didst [6213] among them; but hardened [7185] their necks, [6203] and in their rebellion [4805] appointed [5414] a captain [7218] to return [7725] to their bondage: [5659] but thou [art] a God [0433] ready to pardon, [5547] gracious [2587] and merciful, [7349] slow [0750] to anger, [0639] and of great [7227] kindness, [2617] and forsookest [5800] them not.

18

Yea, when they had made [6213] them a molten [4541] calf, [5695] and said, [0559] This [is] thy God [0430] that brought thee up [5927] out of Egypt, [4714] and had wrought [6213] great [1419] provocations; [5007]

19

Yet thou in thy manifold [7227] mercies [7356] forsookest [5800] them not in the wilderness: [4057] the pillar [5982] of the cloud [6051] departed [5493] not from them by day, [3119] to lead [5148] them in the way; [1870] neither the pillar [5982] of fire [0784] by night, [3915] to shew them light, [0215] and the way [1870] wherein they should go. [3212]

20

Thou gavest [5414] also thy good [2896] spirit [7307] to instruct [7919] them, and withheldest [4513] not thy manna [4478] from their mouth, [6310] and gavest [5414] them water [4325] for their thirst. [6772]

21

Yea, forty [0705] years [8141] didst thou sustain [3557] them in the wilderness, [4057] [so that] they lacked [2637] nothing; their clothes [8008] waxed not old, [1086] and their feet [7272] swelled [1216] not.

22

Moreover thou gavest [5414] them kingdoms [4467] and nations, [5971] and didst divide [2505] them into corners: [6285] so they possessed [3423] the land [0776] of Sihon, [5511] and the land [0776] of the king [4428] of Heshbon, [2809] and the land [0776] of Og [5747] king [4428] of Bashan. [1316]

23

Their children [1121] also multipliedst [7235] thou as the stars [3556] of heaven, [8064] and broughtest [0935] them into the land, [0776] concerning which thou hadst promised [0559] to their fathers, [0001] that they should go in [0935] to possess [3423] [it].

24

So the children [1121] went in [0935] and possessed [3423] the land, [0776] and thou subduedst [3665] before [6440] them the inhabitants [3427] of the land, [0776] the Canaanites, [3669] and gavest [5414] them into their hands, [3027] with their kings, [4428] and the people [5971] of the land, [0776] that they might do [6213] with them as they would. [7522]

25

And they took [3920] strong [1219] cities, [5892] and a fat [8082] land, [0127] and possessed [3423] houses [1004] full [4392] of all goods, [2898] wells [0953] digged, [2672] vineyards, [3754] and oliveyards, [2132] and fruit [3978] trees [6086] in abundance: [7230] so they did eat, [0398] and were filled, [7646] and became fat, [8080] and delighted [5727] themselves in thy great [1419] goodness. [2898]

26

Nevertheless they were disobedient, [4784] and rebelled [4775] against thee, and cast [7993] thy law [8451] behind [0310] their backs, [1458] and slew [2026] thy prophets [5030] which testified [5749] against them to turn [7725] them to thee, and they wrought [6213] great [1419] provocations. [5007]

27

Therefore thou deliveredst [5414] them into the hand [3027] of their enemies, [6862] who vexed [6887] them: and in the time [6256] of their trouble, [6869] when they cried [6817] unto thee, thou heardest [8085] [them] from heaven; [8064] and according to thy manifold [7227] mercies [7356] thou gavest [5414] them saviours, [3467] who saved [3467] them out of the hand [3027] of their enemies. [6862]

28

But after they had rest, [5117] they did [6213] evil [7451] again [7725] before [6440] thee: therefore leftest [5800] thou them in the hand [3027] of their enemies, [0341] so that they had the dominion [7287] over them: yet when they returned, [7725] and cried [2199] unto thee, thou heardest [8085] [them] from heaven; [8064] and many [7227] times [6256] didst thou deliver [5337] them according to thy mercies; [7356]

29

And testifiedst [5749] against them, that thou mightest bring them again [7725] unto thy law: [8451] yet they dealt proudly, [2102] and hearkened [8085] not unto thy commandments, [4687] but sinned [2398] against thy judgments, [4941] (which if a man [0120] do, [6213] he shall live [2421] in them;) and withdrew [5414] [5637] the shoulder, [3802] and hardened [7185] their neck, [6203] and would not hear. [8085]

30

Yet many [7227] years [8141] didst thou forbear [4900] them, and testifiedst [5749] against them by thy spirit [7307] in [3027] thy prophets: [5030] yet would they not give ear: [0238] therefore gavest [5414] thou them into the hand [3027] of the people [5971] of the lands. [0776]

31

Nevertheless for thy great [7227] mercies' [7356] sake thou didst [6213] not utterly consume [3617] them, nor forsake [5800] them; for thou [art] a gracious [2587] and merciful [7349] God. [0410]

32

Now therefore, our God, [0430] the great, [1419] the mighty, [1368] and the terrible [3372] God, [0410] who keepest [8104] covenant [1285] and mercy, [2617] let not all the trouble [8513] seem little [4591] before [6440] thee, that hath come upon [4672] us, on our kings, [4428] on our princes, [8269] and on our priests, [3548] and on our prophets, [5030] and on our fathers, [0001] and on all thy people, [5971] since the time [3117] of the kings [4428] of Assyria [0804] unto this day. [3117]

33

Howbeit thou [art] just [6662] in all that is brought [0935] upon us; for thou hast done [6213] right, [0571] but we have done wickedly: [7561]

34

Neither have our kings, [4428] our princes, [8269] our priests, [3548] nor our fathers, [0001] kept [6213] thy law, [8451] nor hearkened [7181] unto thy commandments [4687] and thy testimonies, [5715] wherewith thou didst testify [5749] against them.

35

For they have not served [5647] thee in their kingdom, [4438] and in thy great [7227] goodness [2898] that thou gavest [5414] them, and in the large [7342] and fat [8082] land [0776] which thou gavest [5414] before [6440] them, neither turned [7725] they from their wicked [7451] works. [4611]

36

Behold, we [are] servants [5650] this day, [3117] and [for] the land [0776] that thou gavest [5414] unto our fathers [0001] to eat [0398] the fruit [6529] thereof and the good [2898] thereof, behold, we [are] servants [5650] in it:

37

And it yieldeth much [7235] increase [8393] unto the kings [4428] whom thou hast set [5414] over us because of our sins: [2403] also they have dominion [4910] over our bodies, [1472] and over our cattle, [0929] at their pleasure, [7522] and we [are] in great [1419] distress. [6869]

38

And because of all this we make [3772] a sure [0548] [covenant], and write [3789] [it]; and our princes, [8269] Levites, [3881] [and] priests, [3548] seal [2856] [unto it].
