English Standard Version

⁵ And I said, “O Lord God of heaven, ^(A)the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, ^6 (B)let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, ^(C)confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even ^(D)I and my father's house have sinned. ^7 (E)We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules ^(F)that you commanded your servant Moses.
