Hear ⌞them⌟ in heaven, where you live. Forgive ⌞them⌟, and take action. Give each person the proper reply. (You know what is in their hearts, because you alone know what is in the hearts of all people.)

If they come to their senses, are sorry for what they’ve done, and plead with you in the land where they are captives, saying, ‘We have sinned. We have done wrong. We have been wicked,’ if they change their attitude toward you in the land of their enemies where they are captives, if they pray to you toward the land that you gave their ancestors, and the city you have chosen, and the temple I have built for your name, then in heaven, the place where you live, hear their prayer for mercy. Do what is right for them. Forgive your people, who have sinned against you. ⌞Forgive⌟ all their wrongs when they rebelled against you, and cause those who captured them to have mercy on them because they are your own people whom you brought out of Egypt from the middle of an iron smelter.

The Lord is great! He should be highly praised. He should be feared more than all ⌞other⌟ gods because all the gods of the nations are idols. The Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and beauty are in his holy place.

He will judge the world with righteousness and its people with his truth.
