⁵ And at the ^(A)evening sacrifice I rose from my fasting, with my garment ^(B)and my cloak torn, and fell upon my knees ^(C)and spread out my hands to the Lord my God, ⁶ saying:

“O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to you, my God, for our iniquities ^(D)have risen higher than our heads, and our ^(E)guilt has ^(F)mounted up to the heavens.

³⁹ And going a little farther he fell on his face ^(A)and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let ^(B)this cup pass from me; ^(C)nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

⁶ And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God ^(A)must believe that he exists and ^(B)that he rewards those who seek him.

^13 (A)You will seek me and find me, when you seek me ^(B)with all your heart. ¹⁴ I will be found by you, declares the Lord, ^(C)and I will restore your fortunes and ^(D)gather you from all the nations and all the places ^(E)where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

^9 (A)For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those ^(B)whose heart is blameless^[a] toward him. ^(C)You have done foolishly in this, for from now on ^(D)you will have wars.”
