46 “If they sin against you— ^afor there is no one who does not sin—and you are angry with them and give them to an enemy, so that they are carried away captive ^bto the land of the enemy, far off or near, 47 yet ^cif they turn their heart in the land to which they have been carried captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captors, saying, ^d‘We have sinned and have acted perversely and wickedly,’ 48 ^eif they repent with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you ^ftoward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city that you have chosen, and the house that I have built for your name, 49 then hear in heaven your dwelling place their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause 50 and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions that they have committed against you, and ^ggrant them compassion in the sight of those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them 51 ( ^hfor they are your people, and your heritage, which you brought out of Egypt, ⁱfrom the midst of the iron furnace). 52 ^jLet your eyes be open to the plea of your servant and to the plea of your people Israel, giving ear to them whenever they call to you. 53 For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your heritage, ^kas you declared through Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.”

36 “If they sin against you— ^lfor there is no one who does not sin—and you are angry with them and give them to an enemy, so that they are carried away captive to a land far or near, 37 yet if they turn their heart in the land to which they have been carried captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned and have acted perversely and wickedly,’ 38 if they repent with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity to which they were carried captive, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city that you have chosen and the house that I have built for your name, 39 then hear from heaven your dwelling place their prayer and their pleas, and maintain their cause and forgive your people who have sinned against you.

Daniel 9:11-19

11 ^mAll Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, ⁿrefusing to obey your voice. ^oAnd the curse and oath ^pthat are written in the Law of ^qMoses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because ^rwe have sinned against him. 12 He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against ^sour rulers who ruled us, ^{▼▼Or our judges who judged us} by ^ubringing upon us a great calamity. ^vFor under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem. 13 ^wAs it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, ^xturning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth. 14 ^yTherefore the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us, ^zfor the Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and ^aawe have not obeyed his voice. 15 And now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt ^abwith a mighty hand, and ^achave made a name for yourself, as at this day, ^adwe have sinned, we have done wickedly.

16 “O Lord, ^aeaccording to all your righteous acts, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, ^afyour holy hill, ^agbecause for our sins, and for ^ahthe iniquities of our fathers, ^aiJerusalem and your people have become ^aja byword among all who are around us. 17 Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy, and for your own sake, O Lord, ^{▼▼Hebrew for the Lord’s sake} ^almake your face to shine upon ^amyour sanctuary, which is desolate. 18 ^anO my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see ^aoour desolations, and ^apthe city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. 19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. ^aqDelay not, ^arfor your own sake, O my God, because ^asyour city and ^atyour people are called by your name.”
