11 ♥ 📝 And thou didst divide^H1234 the sea^H3220 before^H6440 them, so that they went through^H5674 the midst^H8432 of the sea^H3220 on the dry land;^H3004 and their pursuers^H7291 thou didst cast^H7993 into the depths,^H4688 as a stone^H68 into the mighty^H5794 waters.^H4325

12 ♥ 📝 Moreover in a pillar^H5982 of cloud^H6051 thou leddest^H5148 them by day;^H3119 and in a pillar^H5982 of fire^H784 by night,^H3915 to give them light^H215 in the way^H1870 wherein they should go.^H3212

13 ♥ 📝 Thou camest down^H3381 also upon mount^H2022 Sinai,^H5514 and spakest^H1696 with them from heaven,^H8064 and gavest^H5414 them right^H3477 ordinances^H4941 and true^H571 laws,^H8451 good^H2896 statutes^H2706 and commandments,^H4687

16 ♥ 📝 But they and our fathers^H1 dealt proudly^H2102 and hardened^H7185 their neck,^H6203 and hearkened^H8085 not to thy commandments,^H4687

17 ♥ 📝 and refused^H3985 to obey,^H8085 neither were mindful^H2142 of thy wonders^H6381 that thou didst^H6213 among them, but hardened^H7185 their neck,^H6203 and in their rebellion^H4805 appointed^H5414 a captain^H7218 to return^H7725 to their bondage.^H5659 But thou art a God^H433 ready to pardon,^H5547 gracious^H2587 and merciful,^H7349 slow^H750 to anger,^H639 and abundant^H7227 in lovingkindness,^H2617 and forsookest^H5800 them not.

19 ♥ 📝 yet thou in thy manifold^H7227 mercies^H7356 forsookest^H5800 them not in the wilderness:^H4057 the pillar^H5982 of cloud^H6051 departed^H5493 not from over them by day,^H3119 to lead^H5148 them in the way;^H1870 neither the pillar^H5982 of fire^H784 by night,^H3915 to show them light,^H215 and the way^H1870 wherein they should go.^H3212

20 ♥ 📝 Thou gavest^H5414 also thy good^H2896 Spirit^H7307 to instruct^H7919 them, and withheldest^H4513 not thy manna^H4478 from their mouth,^H6310 and gavest^H5414 them water^H4325 for their thirst.^H6772

21 ♥ 📝 Yea, forty^H705 years^H8141 didst thou sustain^H3557 them in the wilderness,^H4057 [and] they lacked^H2637 nothing; their clothes^H8008 waxed not old,^H1086 and their feet^H7272 swelled^H1216 not.

22 ♥ 📝 Moreover thou gavest^H5414 them kingdoms^H4467 and peoples,^H5971 which thou didst allot^H2505 after their portions:^H6285 so they possessed^H3423 the land^H776 of Sihon,^H5511 even the land^H776 of the king^H4428 of Heshbon,^H2809 and the land^H776 of Og^H5747 king^H4428 of Bashan.^H1316

23 ♥ 📝 Their children^H1121 also multipliedst^H7235 thou as the stars^H3556 of heaven,^H8064 and broughtest^H935 them into the land^H776 concerning which thou didst say^H559 to their fathers,^H1 that they should go in^H935 to possess^H3423 it.

24 ♥ 📝 So the children^H1121 went in^H935 and possessed^H3423 the land,^H776 and thou subduedst^H3665 before^H6440 them the inhabitants^H3427 of the land,^H776 the Canaanites,^H3669 and gavest^H5414 them into their hands,^H3027 with their kings,^H4428 and the peoples^H5971 of the land,^H776 that they might do^H6213 with them as they would.^H7522

25 ♥ 📝 And they took^H3920 fortified^H1219 cities,^H5892 and a fat^H8082 land,^H127 and possessed^H3423 houses^H1004 full^H4392 of all good things,^H2898 cisterns^H953 hewn^H2672 out, vineyards,^H3754 and oliveyards,^H2132 and fruit -^H3978 trees^H6086 in abundance:^H7230 so they did eat,^H398 and were filled,^H7646 and became fat,^H8080 and delighted^H5727 themselves in thy great^H1419 goodness.^H2898

26 ♥ 📝 Nevertheless they were disobedient,^H4784 and rebelled^H4775 against thee, and cast^H7993 thy law^H8451 behind^H310 their back,^H1458 and slew^H2026 thy prophets^H5030 that testified^H5749 against them to turn^H7725 them again unto thee, and they wrought^H6213 great^H1419 provocations.^H5007

27 ♥ 📝 Therefore thou deliveredst^H5414 them into the hand^H3027 of their adversaries,^H6862 who distressed^H6887 them: and in the time^H6256 of their trouble,^H6869 when they cried^H6817 unto thee, thou heardest^H8085 from heaven;^H8064 and according to thy manifold^H7227 mercies^H7356 thou gavest^H5414 them saviours^H3467 who saved^H3467 them out of the hand^H3027 of their adversaries.^H6862

28 ♥ 📝 But after they had rest,^H5117 they did^H6213 evil^H7451 again^H7725 before^H6440 thee; therefore leftest^H5800 thou them in the hand^H3027 of their enemies,^H341 so that they had the dominion^H7287 over them: yet when they returned,^H7725 and cried^H2199 unto thee, thou heardest^H8085 from heaven;^H8064 and many^H7227 times^H6256 didst thou deliver^H5337 them according to thy mercies,^H7356

29 ♥ 📝 and testifiedst^H5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them again^H7725 unto thy law.^H8451 Yet they dealt proudly,^H2102 and hearkened^H8085 not unto thy commandments,^H4687 but sinned^H2398 against thine ordinances,^H4941 (which if a man^H120 do,^H6213 he shall live^H2421 in them), and withdrew^H5414 the shoulder,^H3802 and hardened^H7185 their neck,^H6203 and would not hear.^H8085

30 ♥ 📝 Yet many^H7227 years^H8141 didst thou bear with them, and testifiedst^H5749 against them by thy Spirit^H7307 through^H3027 thy prophets:^H5030 yet would they not give^H5414 ear:^H238 therefore gavest^H5414 thou them into the hand^H3027 of the peoples^H5971 of the lands.^H776

31 ♥ 📝 Nevertheless in thy manifold^H7227 mercies^H7356 thou didst^H6213 not make a full end^H3617 of them, nor forsake^H5800 them; for thou art a gracious^H2587 and merciful^H7349 God.^H410

32 ♥ 📝 Now therefore, our God,^H430 the great,^H1419 the mighty,^H1368 and the terrible^H3372 God,^H410 who keepest^H8104 covenant^H1285 and lovingkindness,^H2617 let not all the travail^H8513 seem little^H4591 before^H6440 thee, that hath come^H4672 upon us, on our kings,^H4428 on our princes,^H8269 and on our priests,^H3548 and on our prophets,^H5030 and on our fathers,^H1 and on all thy people,^H5971 since the time^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Assyria^H804 unto this day.^H3117

33 ♥ 📝 Howbeit thou art just^H6662 in all that is come^H935 upon us; for thou hast dealt^H6213 truly, but we have done^H6213 wickedly;^H7561

34 ♥ 📝 neither have our kings,^H4428 our princes,^H8269 our priests,^H3548 nor our fathers,^H1 kept^H6213 thy law,^H8451 nor hearkened^H7181 unto thy commandments^H4687 and thy testimonies^H5715 wherewith thou didst testify^H5749 against them.

35 ♥ 📝 For they have not served^H5647 thee in their kingdom,^H4438 and in thy great^H7227 goodness^H2898 that thou gavest^H5414 them, and in the large^H7342 and fat^H8082 land^H776 which thou gavest^H5414 before^H6440 them, neither turned^H7725 they from their wicked^H7451 works.^H4611

36 ♥ 📝 Behold, we are servants^H5650 this day,^H3117 and as for the land^H776 that thou gavest^H5414 unto our fathers^H1 to eat^H398 the fruit^H6529 thereof and the good^H2898 thereof, behold, we are servants^H5650 in it.

37 ♥ 📝 And it yieldeth much^H7235 increase^H8393 unto the kings^H4428 whom thou hast set^H5414 over us because of our sins:^H2403 also they have power^H4910 over our bodies,^H1472 and over our cattle,^H929 at their pleasure,^H7522 and we are in great^H1419 distress.^H6869

38 ♥ 📝 And yet for all this we make^H3772 a sure^H548 covenant, and write^H3789 it; and our princes,^H8269 our Levites,^H3881 [and] our priests,^H3548 seal^H2856 unto it.
