O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of your people, and direct their heart towards you:
Because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God, when you heard his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbled yourself before me, and tore your clothes, and wept before me; I have even heard you also, says the LORD.
Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses: for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yes, all of you be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
