1 Now in the twenty H6242 and fourth H702 day H3117 of this H2088 D-PMS month H2320 LD-NMS the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were assembled H622 with fasting H6685 , and with sackclothes H8242 , and earth H127 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them .
2 And the seed H2233 NMS of Israel H3478 separated themselves H914 from all H3605 M-CMS strangers H1121 , and stood H5975 and confessed H3034 their sins H2403 , and the iniquities H5771 of their fathers H1 .
3 And they stood up H6965 in H5921 PREP their place H5977 , and read H7121 in the book H5612 of the law H8451 CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS their God H430 one fourth H7243 part of the day H3117 D-AMS ; and another fourth H7243 part they confessed H3034 , and worshiped H7812 the LORD H3068 L-EDS their God H430 .
4 Then stood up H6965 W-VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP the stairs H4608 , of the Levites H3881 , Jeshua H3442 , and Bani H1137 , Kadmiel H6934 , Shebaniah H7645 , Bunni H1138 , Sherebiah H8274 , Bani H1137 , and Chenani H3662 , and cried H2199 W-VQY3MP with a loud H1419 AMS voice H6963 B-NMS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS their God H430 .
5 Then the Levites H3881 , Jeshua H3442 , and Kadmiel H6934 , Bani H1137 , Hashabniah H2813 , Sherebiah H8274 , Hodijah H1941 , Shebaniah H7645 , and Pethahiah H6611 , said H559 W-VQY3MP , Stand up H6965 and bless H1288 the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 forever H5769 and H5704 PREP ever H5769 : and blessed H1288 be thy glorious H3519 name H8034 CMS , which is exalted H7311 above H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS blessing H1293 and praise H8416 .
6 Thou H859 PPRO-2MS , even thou H1931 PPRO-3MS , art LORD H3068 EDS alone H905 ; thou H859 PPRO-2FS hast made H6213 VQQ2MS heaven H8064 D-NMD , the heaven H8064 of heavens H8064 D-NMD , with all H3605 W-CMS their host H6635 , the earth H776 D-GFS , and all H3605 W-CMS things that H834 RPRO are therein H5921 PREP-3FS , the seas H3220 , and all H3605 W-CMS that H834 RPRO is therein , and thou H859 PPRO-2MS preservest H2421 them all H3605 CMS-3MP ; and the host H6635 of heaven H8064 D-NMD worshipeth H7812 thee .
7 Thou H859 PPRO-2MS art the LORD H3068 EDS the God H430 D-EDP , who H834 RPRO didst choose H977 VQQ2MS Abram H87 , and broughtest him forth H3318 out of Ur H218 M-EFS of the Chaldees H3778 TMP , and gavest H7760 him the name H8034 of Abraham H85 ;
8 And foundest H4672 his heart H3824 faithful H539 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee , and madest H3772 a covenant H1285 D-NFS with H5973 PREP-3MS him to give H5414 L-VQFC the land H776 GFS of the Canaanites H3669 , the Hittites H2850 , the Amorites H567 D-TMS , and the Perizzites H6522 WD-EMS , and the Jebusites H2983 , and the Girgashites H1622 , to give H5414 L-VQFC it , I say , to his seed H2233 , and hast performed H6965 thy words H1697 ; for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art righteous H6662 AMS :
9 And didst see H7200 W-VQQ3FS the affliction H6040 of our fathers H1 in Egypt H4714 , and heardest H8085 VQQ2MS their cry H2201 by H5921 PREP the Red H5488 sea H3220 ;
10 And showedst H5414 W-VQY3FS signs H226 and wonders H4159 upon Pharaoh H6547 , and on all H3605 WB-CMS his servants H5650 , and on all H3605 WB-CMS the people H5971 NMS of his land H776 : for H3588 CONJ thou knewest H3045 VQQ2MS that H3588 CONJ they dealt proudly H2102 against H5921 PREP-3MP them . So didst thou get H6213 thee a name H8034 CMS , as it is this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 .
11 And thou didst divide H1234 the sea H3220 before H6440 L-CMP-3MP them , so that they went through H5674 the midst H8432 of the sea H3220 D-NMS on the dry land H3004 ; and their persecutors H7291 thou threwest H7993 into the deeps H4688 , as H3644 PREP a stone H68 GFS into the mighty H5794 waters H4325 .
12 Moreover thou leddest H5148 them in the day H3119 ADV by a cloudy H6051 NMS pillar H5982 ; and in the night H3915 GMS by a pillar H5982 of fire H784 CMS , to give them light H215 L-VHFC in the way H1870 D-NMS wherein H834 RPRO they should go H1980 .
13 Thou camest down H3381 also upon H5921 W-PREP mount H2022 CMS Sinai H5514 , and spakest H1696 with H5973 PREP-3MP them from heaven H8064 , and gavest H5414 W-VQY3FS them right H3477 AMP judgments H4941 , and true H571 CFS laws H8451 , good H2896 statutes H2706 and commandments H4687 :
14 And madest known H3045 unto them thy holy H6944 sabbath H7676 , and commandedst H6680 VPQ2MS them precepts H4687 , statutes H2706 , and laws H8451 , by the hand H3027 B-CFS of Moses H4872 thy servant H5650 :
15 And gavest H5414 VQQ2MS-2FS them bread H3899 from heaven H8064 for their hunger H7458 , and broughtest forth H3318 water H4325 W-NMD for them out of the rock H5553 for their thirst H6772 , and promisedst H559 W-VQY3FS them that they should go in H935 L-VQFC to possess H3423 the land H776 D-GFS which H834 RPRO thou hadst sworn H5375 to give H5414 L-VQFC them .
16 But they H1992 W-PPRO-3MP and our fathers H1 dealt proudly H2102 , and hardened H7185 their necks H6203 , and hearkened H8085 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR to H413 PREP thy commandments H4687 ,
17 And refused H3985 to obey H8085 , neither H3808 W-NPAR were mindful H2142 of thy wonders H6381 that H834 RPRO thou didst H6213 VQQ2MS among H5973 PREP-3MP them ; but hardened H7185 their necks H6203 , and in their rebellion H4805 appointed H5414 W-VQY3MP a captain H7218 NMS to return H7725 to their bondage H5659 : but thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS art a God H433 NAME-4MS ready to pardon H5547 , gracious H2587 AMS and merciful H7349 W-AMS , slow H750 to anger H639 NMD , and of great H7227 W-JMS kindness H2617 , and forsookest H5800 them not H3808 W-NPAR .
18 Yea H637 CONJ , when H3588 CONJ they had made H6213 VQQ3MP them a molten H4541 calf H5695 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP , This H2088 DPRO is thy God H430 CMP-2MS that H834 RPRO brought thee up H5927 out of Egypt H4714 , and had wrought H6213 great H1419 provocations H5007 ;
19 Yet thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS in thy manifold H7227 mercies H7356 forsookest H5800 them not H3808 NADV in the wilderness H4057 : the pillar H5982 of the cloud H6051 departed H5493 not H3808 NADV from them by day H3119 , to lead H5148 them in the way H1870 ; neither the pillar H5982 of fire H784 by night H3915 , to show them light H215 L-VHFC , and the way H1870 D-NMS wherein H834 RPRO they should go H1980 .
20 Thou gavest H5414 also thy good H2896 spirit H7307 to instruct H7919 them , and withheldest H4513 not H3808 NADV thy manna H4478 from their mouth H6310 M-CMS-3MP , and gavest H5414 VQQ2MS-2FS them water H4325 W-NMD for their thirst H6772 .
21 Yea , forty H705 W-MMP years H8141 NFS didst thou sustain H3557 them in the wilderness H4057 , so that they lacked H2637 nothing H3808 NADV ; their clothes H8008 waxed not old H1086 , and their feet H7272 swelled H1216 not H3808 NADV .
22 Moreover thou gavest H5414 W-VQY3FS them kingdoms H4467 and nations H5971 , and didst divide H2505 them into corners H6285 : so they possessed H3423 the land H776 GFS of Sihon H5511 , and the land H776 GFS of the king H4428 NMS of Heshbon H2809 , and the land H776 GFS of Og H5747 king H4428 NMS of Bashan H1316 .
23 Their children H1121 also multipliedst H7235 thou as the stars H3556 of heaven H8064 D-AMP , and broughtest H935 them into H413 PREP the land H776 D-GFS , concerning which H834 RPRO thou hadst promised H559 VQQ2MS to their fathers H1 , that they should go in H935 L-VQFC to possess H3423 it .
24 So the children H1121 went in H935 W-VQY3MP and possessed H3423 the land H776 D-GFS , and thou subduedst H3665 before H6440 L-CMP-3MP them the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS , the Canaanites H3669 , and gavest H5414 them into their hands H3027 , with their kings H4428 , and the people H5971 of the land H776 D-GFS , that they might do H6213 L-VQFC with them as they would H7522 .
25 And they took H3920 strong H1219 cities H5892 GFP , and a fat H8082 land H127 , and possessed H3423 houses H1004 NMP full H4392 of all H3605 NMS goods H2898 , wells H953 digged H2672 , vineyards H3754 , and oliveyards H2132 , and fruit H3978 trees H6086 W-NMS in abundance H7230 LD-NMS : so they did eat H398 W-VQY3MP , and were filled H7646 , and became fat H8080 , and delighted themselves H5727 in thy great H1419 D-AMS goodness H2898 .
26 Nevertheless they were disobedient H4784 , and rebelled H4775 against thee , and cast H7993 thy law H8451 behind H310 PREP their backs H1458 , and slew H2026 thy prophets H5030 which H834 RPRO testified H5749 against them to turn H7725 them to H413 PREP-2MS thee , and they wrought H6213 great H1419 provocations H5007 .
27 Therefore thou deliveredst H5414 them into the hand H3027 B-CFS of their enemies H6862 , who vexed H6887 them : and in the time H6256 of their trouble H6869 , when they cried H6817 VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-2MS thee , thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS heardest H8085 VQY2MS them from heaven H8064 ; and according to thy manifold H7227 mercies H7356 thou gavest H5414 VQY2MS them saviors H3467 , who saved H3467 them out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of their enemies H6862 .
28 But after they had rest H5117 , they did H6213 L-VQFC evil H7451 AMS again H7725 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee : therefore leftest H5800 thou them in the hand H3027 B-CFS of their enemies H341 , so that they had the dominion H7287 over them : yet when they returned H7725 , and cried H2199 unto thee , thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS heardest H8085 them from heaven H8064 ; and many H7227 AFP times H6256 didst thou deliver H5337 them according to thy mercies H7356 ;
29 And testifiedst H5749 against them , that thou mightest bring them again H7725 unto H413 PREP thy law H8451 : yet they H1992 dealt proudly H2102 , and hearkened H8085 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR unto thy commandments H4687 , but sinned H2398 VQQ3MP against thy judgments H4941 , ( RPRO which H834 RPRO if a man H120 NMS do H6213 VQY3MS , he shall live H2421 in them ; ) and withdrew H5414 W-VQY3MP the shoulder H3802 , and hardened H7185 their neck H6203 , and would not H3808 W-NPAR hear H8085 VQQ3MP .
30 Yet many H7227 AFP years H8141 NFP didst thou forbear H4900 them , and testifiedst H5749 against them by thy spirit H7307 in H3027 B-CFS thy prophets H5030 : yet would they not H3808 W-NPAR give ear H238 : therefore gavest H5414 thou them into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the people H5971 of the lands H776 .
31 Nevertheless for thy great H7227 mercies\'s H7356 ake H7356 thou H7356 didst H7356 not H3808 ADV utterly consume H3617 them , nor H3808 W-NADV forsake H5800 them ; for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art a gracious H2587 AMS and merciful H7349 W-AMS God H410 NMS .
32 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , our God H430 , the great H1419 D-AMS , the mighty H1368 , and the terrible H3372 God H410 , who keepest H8104 covenant H1285 D-NFS and mercy H2617 , let not H408 NPAR all H3605 NMS the trouble H8513 seem little H4591 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee , that H834 hath come upon H4672 us , on our kings H4428 , on our princes H8269 , and on our priests H3548 , and on our prophets H5030 , and on our fathers H1 , and on all H3605 NMS thy people H5971 , since the time H3117 of the kings H4428 CMP of Assyria H804 GFS unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
33 Howbeit thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS art just H6662 AMS in H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS that is brought H935 upon H5921 PREP us ; for H3588 CONJ thou hast done H6213 VQQ2MS right H571 CFS , but we H587 have done wickedly H7561 :
34 Neither have our kings H4428 , our princes H8269 , our priests H3548 , nor H3808 NADV our fathers H1 , kept H6213 VQQ3MP thy law H8451 , nor H3808 W-NADV hearkened H7181 unto H413 PREP thy commandments H4687 and thy testimonies H5715 , wherewith H834 RPRO thou didst testify H5749 against them .
35 For they H1992 W-PPRO-3MP have not H3808 NADV served H5647 thee in their kingdom H4438 , and in thy great H7227 goodness H2898 that H834 RPRO thou gavest H5414 them , and in the large H7342 and fat H8082 land H776 which H834 RPRO thou gavest H5414 before H6440 L-CMP-3MP them , neither H3808 NADV turned H7725 VQQ3MP they from their wicked H7451 works H4611 .
36 Behold H2009 IJEC , we H587 PPRO-1MP are servants H5650 NMP this day H3117 D-AMS , and for the land H776 WD-GFS that H834 RPRO thou gavest H5414 VQQ2MS-2FS unto our fathers H1 to eat H398 L-VQFC the fruit H6529 thereof and the good H2898 thereof , behold H2009 IJEC , we H587 PPRO-1MP are servants H5650 NMP in H5921 it :
37 And it yieldeth much H7235 increase H8393 unto the kings H4428 whom H834 RPRO thou hast set H5414 VQQ2MS-2FS over H5921 PREP-1MP us because of our sins H2403 : also they have dominion H4910 over H5921 W-PREP our bodies H1472 , and over our cattle H929 , at their pleasure H7522 , and we H587 PPRO-1MP are in great H1419 AFS distress H6869 .
38 And because of all H3605 WB-CMS this H2063 DPRO we H587 PPRO-1MP make H3772 a sure H548 covenant , and write H3789 it ; and our princes H8269 , Levites H3881 , and priests H3548 , seal H2856 unto it .
