And they stood H6965 up in their place, H5977 and read H7121 in the book H5612 of the law H8451 of the LORD H3068 their God H430 one fourth H7243 part of the day; H3117 and another fourth H7243 part they confessed, H3034 and worshipped H7812 the LORD H3068 their God. H430
And found H4672 his heart H3824 faithful H539 before H6440 you, and made H3772 a covenant H1285 with him to give H5414 the land H776 of the Canaanites, H3669 the Hittites, H2850 the Amorites, H567 and the Perizzites, H6522 and the Jebusites, H2983 and the Girgashites, H1622 to give H5414 it, I say, to his seed, H2233 and have performed H6965 your words; H1697 for you are righteous: H6662
Yet you in your manifold H7227 mercies H7356 forsook H5800 them not in the wilderness: H4057 the pillar H5982 of the cloud H6051 departed H5493 not from them by day, H3119 to lead H5148 them in the way; H1870 neither the pillar H5982 of fire H784 by night, H3915 to show them light, H216 and the way H1870 wherein H834 they should go. H3212
Yes, forty H705 years H8141 did you sustain H3557 them in the wilderness, H4057 so that they lacked H2637 nothing; H3808 their clothes H8008 waxed not old, H1086 and their feet H7272 swelled H1216 not.
Their children H1121 also multiplied H7235 you as the stars H3556 of heaven, H8064 and brought H935 them into H413 the land, H776 concerning which H834 you had promised H559 to their fathers, H1 that they should go H935 in to possess H3423 it.
24
So the children H1121 went H935 in and possessed H3423 the land, H776 and you subdued H3665 before H6440 them the inhabitants H3427 of the land, H776 the Canaanites, H3669 and gave H5414 them into their hands, H3027 with their kings, H4428 and the people H5971 of the land, H776 that they might do H6213 with them as they would.
Nevertheless they were disobedient, H4784 and rebelled H4775 against you, and cast H7993 your law H8451 behind H310 their backs, H1458 and slew H2026 your prophets H5030 which H834 testified H5749 against them to turn H7725 them to you, and they worked H6213 great H1419 provocations. H5007
27
Therefore you delivered H5414 them into the hand H3027 of their enemies, H6862 who vexed H6887 them: and in the time H6256 of their trouble, H6869 when they cried H6817 to you, you heard H8085 them from heaven; H8064 and according to your manifold H7227 mercies H7356 you gave H5414 them saviors, H3467 who saved H3467 them out of the hand H3027 of their enemies. H6862
28
But after they had rest, H5117 they did H6213 evil H7451 again H7725 before H6440 you: therefore left H5800 you them in the land H3027 of their enemies, H341 so that they had the dominion H7287 over them: yet when they returned, H7725 and cried H2199 to you, you heard H8085 them from heaven; H8064 and many H7227 times H6256 did you deliver H5337 them according to your mercies; H7356
29
And testified H5749 against them, that you might bring H7725 them again H7725 to your law: H8451 yet they dealt proudly, H2102 and listened H8085 not to your commandments, H4687 but sinned H2398 against your judgments, H4941 (which H834 if a man H120 do, H6213 he shall live H2421 in them;) and withdrew H5414H5437 the shoulder, H3802 and hardened H7185 their neck, H6203 and would not hear. H8085
30
Yet many H7227 years H8141 did you forbear H4900 them, and testified H5749 against them by your spirit H7307 in your prophets: H5030 yet would they not give ear: H238 therefore gave H5414 you them into the hand H3027 of the people H5971 of the lands. H776
31
Nevertheless for your great H7227 mercies' H7356 sake you did not utterly consume H3615 them, nor H3808 forsake H5800 them; for you are a gracious H2587 and merciful H7349 God. H410
Behold, H2009 we are servants H5650 this day, H3117 and for the land H776 that you gave H5414 to our fathers H1 to eat H398 the fruit H6529 thereof and the good H2898 thereof, behold, H2009 we are servants H5650 in it:
He that goes H3212 forth and weeps, H1058 bearing H5375 precious H4901 seed, H2233 shall doubtless come H935 again with rejoicing, H7440 bringing H5375 his sheaves H485 with him.
