7. We have acted corruptly toward You and have not kept the commands, statutes, and ordinances You gave Your servant Moses.
8. Please remember what You commanded Your servant Moses: “If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples.
9. But if you return to Me and carefully observe My commands, even though your exiles were banished to the ends of the earth, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place where I chose to have My name dwell.”
10. They are Your servants and Your people. You redeemed them by Your great power and strong hand.
11. Please, Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and to that of Your servants who delight to revere Your name. Give Your servant success today, and have compassion on him in the presence of this man. At the time, I was the king’s cupbearer.
