¹¹ and pray for the life of Nebuchadnez′zar king of Babylon, and for the life of Belshaz′zar his son, that their days on earth may be like the days of heaven. ¹² And the Lord will give us strength, and he will give light to our eyes, and we shall live under the protection^[a] of Nebuchadnez′zar king of Babylon, and under the protection^[b] of Belshaz′zar his son, and we shall serve them many days and find favor in their sight. ¹³ And pray for us to the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God, and to this day the anger of the Lord and his wrath have not turned away from us.
