1
Now on the twenty-fourth
day
of this
month
the sons
of Israel
assembled
with fasting,
in sackcloth
and with dirt
upon them.
2
The descendants
of Israel
separated
themselves from all
foreigners,
and stood
and confessed
their sins
and the iniquities
of their fathers.
3
While they stood
in their place,
they read
from the book
of the law
of
the LORD
their God
for a fourth
of the day;
and for another fourth
they confessed
and worshiped
the LORD
their God
.
4
Now on the Levites'
platform
stood
Jeshua,
Bani
,
Kadmiel,
Shebaniah,
Bunni,
Sherebiah,
Bani
and Chenani,
and they cried
with a loud
voice
to the LORD
their God.
5
Then the Levites,
Jeshua,
Kadmiel,
Bani,
Hashabneiah,
Sherebiah,
Hodiah,
Shebaniah
and Pethahiah,
said,
"Arise,
bless
the LORD
your God
forever
and ever!
O may Your glorious
name
be blessed
And exalted
above
all
blessing
and praise!
6
"You alone
are the LORD.
You have made
the heavens,
The heaven
of heavens
with all
their
host
,
The earth
and all
that is on it, The seas
and all
that is in them. You give life
to all
of them And the heavenly
host
bows down
before You.
7
"You are the LORD
God,
Who
chose
Abram
And brought
him out from Ur
of the Chaldees,
And gave
him the name
Abraham.
8
"You found
his heart
faithful
before
You, And made
a covenant
with him
To give
him the land
of the Canaanite,
Of the Hittite
and the Amorite,
Of the Perizzite,
the Jebusite
and the Girgashite--
To give
it to his descendants.
And You have fulfilled
Your promise,
For You are righteous.
9
"You saw
the affliction
of our fathers
in Egypt,
And heard
their cry
by the Red
Sea.
10
"Then You performed
signs
and wonders
against Pharaoh,
Against all
his servants
and all
the people
of his land;
For You knew
that they acted arrogantly
toward
them, And made
a name
for Yourself as it is this
day.
11
"You divided
the sea
before
them, So they passed
through the midst
of
the sea
on dry ground;
And their pursuers
You hurled
into the depths,
Like
a stone
into raging
waters.
12
"
And with a pillar
of cloud
You led
them by day,
And with a pillar
of fire
by night
To light
for them the way
In which
they were to go.
13
"Then You came down
on Mount
Sinai,
And spoke
with them from heaven;
You gave
them just
ordinances
and true
laws,
Good
statutes
and commandments.
14
"So You made known
to them Your holy
sabbath,
And laid down
for them commandments,
statutes
and law,
Through
Your servant
Moses.
15
"You provided
bread
from heaven
for them for their hunger,
You brought forth
water
from a rock
for them for their thirst,
And You told
them to enter
in order to possess
The land
which
You swore
to give
them.
16
"But they, our fathers,
acted arrogantly;
They became
stubborn
and would not listen
to Your commandments.
17
"They refused
to listen,
And did not remember
Your wondrous deeds
which
You had performed
among
them; So they became
stubborn
and appointed
a leader
to return
to their slavery
in Egypt.
But You are a God
of forgiveness,
Gracious
and compassionate,
Slow
to anger
and abounding
in lovingkindness;
And You did not forsake
them.
18
"Even
when
they made
for themselves A calf
of molten metal
And said,
'This
is your God
Who
brought
you up from Egypt,'
And committed
great
blasphemies,
19
You, in Your great
compassion,
Did not forsake
them in the wilderness;
The pillar
of cloud
did not leave
them by day,
To guide
them on their way,
Nor
the pillar
of fire
by night,
to light
for them the way
in which
they were to go.
20
"You gave
Your good
Spirit
to instruct
them, Your manna
You did not withhold
from their mouth,
And You gave
them water
for their thirst.
21
"Indeed, forty
years
You provided
for them in the wilderness
and they were not in want;
Their clothes
did not wear
out, nor
did their feet
swell.
22
"You also gave
them kingdoms
and peoples,
And allotted
them to them as a boundary.
They took possession
of the land
of Sihon
the king
of Heshbon
And the land
of Og
the king
of Bashan.
23
"You made
their sons
numerous
as the stars
of heaven,
And You brought
them into the land
Which
You had told
their fathers
to enter
and possess.
24
"So their sons
entered
and possessed
the land.
And You subdued
before
them the inhabitants
of the land,
the Canaanites,
And You gave
them into their hand,
with their kings
and the peoples
of the land,
To do
with them as they desired.
25
"They captured
fortified
cities
and a fertile
land.
They took possession
of houses
full
of every
good
thing,
Hewn
cisterns,
vineyards,
olive groves,
Fruit
trees
in abundance.
So they ate,
were filled
and grew fat,
And reveled
in Your great
good
ness.
26
"But they became disobedient
and rebelled
against You, And cast
Your law
behind
their backs
And killed
Your prophets
who
had admonished
them So that they might return
to You, And they committed
great
blasphemies.
27
"Therefore You delivered
them into the hand
of their oppressors
who oppressed
them, But when they cried
to You in the time
of their distress,
You heard
from heaven,
and according to Your great
compassion
You gave
them deliverers
who delivered
them from the hand
of their oppressors
.
28
"But as soon as they had rest,
they did
evil
again
before
You; Therefore You abandoned
them to the hand
of their enemies,
so that they ruled
over them. When they cried
again
to You, You heard
from heaven,
And many
times
You rescued
them according to Your compassion,
29
And admonished
them in order to turn them back
to Your law.
Yet they acted arrogantly
and did not listen
to Your commandments
but sinned
against Your ordinances,
By which
if a man
observes
them he shall live.
And they turned
a stubborn
shoulder
and stiffened
their neck,
and would not listen.
30
"However, You bore
with them for many
years,
And admonished
them by Your Spirit
through
Your prophets,
Yet they would not give ear.
Therefore You gave
them into the hand
of the peoples
of the lands.
31
"Nevertheless, in Your great
compassion
You did not make
an end
of them or forsake
them, For You are a gracious
and
compassion
ate
God.
32
"Now
therefore, our
God,
the great,
the mighty,
and the awesome
God,
who keeps
covenant
and lovingkindness,
Do not let all
the hardship
seem insignificant
before
You, Which
has come
upon us, our kings,
our princes,
our priests,
our prophets,
our fathers
and on all
Your people,
From the days
of the kings
of Assyria
to this
day.
33
"However, You are just
in all
that has come
upon us; For You have dealt
faithfully,
but we have acted wickedly.
34
"For our kings,
our leaders,
our priests
and our fathers
have not kept
Your law
Or paid attention
to Your commandments
and Your admonitions
with which
You have admonished
them.
35
"But they, in their own kingdom,
With Your great
goodness
which
You gave
them, With the broad
and rich
land
which
You set
before
them, Did not serve
You or turn
from their evil
deeds.
36
"
Behold,
we are slaves
today,
And as to the land
which
You gave
to our fathers
to eat
of its fruit
and its bounty,
Behold,
we are slaves
in it.
37
"Its abundant
produce
is for the kings
Whom
You have set
over
us because of our sins;
They also rule
over
our bodies
And
over
our cattle
as they please,
So we are in great
distress.
38
"Now because of all
this
We are making
an agreement
in writing;
And on the sealed
document are the names of our leaders,
our Levites
and our priests."
