¹⁷ Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, ^(A)and ^(B)for the Lord’s sake ^[a]cause Your face to shine on ^[b]Your sanctuary, ^(C)which is desolate. ^18 (D)O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes ^(E)and see our desolations, and the city ^(F)which is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies. ¹⁹ O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”

^44 (A)Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have dealt with you ^(B)for My name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel,” says the Lord God.’ ”

²² Nevertheless I ^[a]withdrew My hand and acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in whose sight I had brought them out.
