Entreaties for Peace

3 They therefore sent messengers to him to sue for peace in these words: ² “We, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the Great King, lie prostrate before you. Do with us whatever you will. ³ See, our buildings and all our land and all our wheat fields and our flocks and herds and all our encampments^[a] lie before you; do with them as you please.
