ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁷ Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁸ And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

⁴⁹ Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁰ And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:

⁵² That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

²⁹ Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
