2 Chronicles 20:5-13

New International Version

“Lord, the God of our ancestors,^(A) are you not the God who is in heaven?^(B) You rule over all the kingdoms^(C) of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you.^{(D) 7} Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land^(E) before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?^{(F) 8} They have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary^(G) for your Name, saying, ⁹ ‘If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine,^(H) we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.’

¹⁰ “But now here are men from Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, whose territory you would not allow Israel to invade when they came from Egypt;^(I) so they turned away from them and did not destroy them. ¹¹ See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession^(J) you gave us as an inheritance. ¹² Our God, will you not judge them?^(K) For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.^(L)”
