²⁰ that Your eyes may be ^(A)open toward this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your name, that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes ^(B)toward this place.

Daniel in the Lions’ Den

¹⁰ Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open ^(A)toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees ^(B)three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

⁹ For ^(A)in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead ^[a]bodily;

⁶ please let Your ear be attentive and ^(A)Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and ^(B)confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned.

^9 (A)For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this ^(B)you have done foolishly; therefore from now on ^(C)you shall have wars.”

^6 (A)Yet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there, and I ^(B)have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’

^16 (A)Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; ^(B)open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, ^(C)which he has sent to reproach the living God.
