⁶ I pray thee let thine ears be attent, and thine eyes open, to hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee daily, day and night for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee, both I and my father’s house have sinned:

⁷ We have ^[a]grievously sinned against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.

⁸ I beseech thee, remember the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, Ye will transgress, and ^(A)I will scatter you abroad among the people.
