O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, attend to us and work! Do not delay, for Your own sake, O my God, for Your name is called on Your city and on Your people.
And You shall listen to the supplications of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, that they pray toward this place; and You shall hear from Your place of dwelling, from Heaven, and shall hear and forgive.
and You shall hear from Heaven, from Your dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and shall maintain their cause, and forgive Your people who have sinned against You.
Why should You be as a man who is stunned, as a mighty one who cannot save? Yet You, O Jehovah, are in our midst, and Your name is called on us. Do not leave us.
For, behold, I begin to bring evil on the city on which is called My name, and shall you be found clearly free from guilt? You shall not be free from guilt. For I will call for a sword on all those living in the earth, a statement of Jehovah of Hosts.
But I turned back My hand and worked for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations, from whom I brought them out in their eyes.
But I worked for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations of whom they were among them, of whom I made Myself known to them in their eyes, by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
Therefore, say to the house of Israel, So says the Lord Jehovah: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but only for My holy name which you profaned among the nations, there to which you had gone in.
So the Lord Jehovah says this: Now I will return the captivity of Jacob and will have mercy on all the house of Israel. And I will be jealous for My holy name.
O my God, stretch out Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our ruins and the city which is called with Your name on it. For we do not make our prayers fall before You on account of our righteousnesses, but because of Your great mercies.
And it happened when it had made an end of eating the green plant of the land, even I said, Lord Jehovah, I pray, forgive. How can Jacob rise up? For he is small.
I pray, forgive the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Your mercy, and as You have gone with this people from Egypt, even until now.
I say to you, Even if rising up he will not give to him because he is a friend, yet because of his shameless insisting, rising up he will give him as many as he needs.
so that the remaining ones of men may seek the Lord, “even all the nations on whom My name has been called, says the Lord, the One doing all these things.” Amos 9:11, 12
