11: And the seaH3220 You dividedH1234 before themH6440 so that they went throughH5674 the midstH8432 of the seaH3220 on the dry land-H3004 andH0853 their persecutorsH7291 You threwH7993 into the deep,H4688 asH3644 a stoneH0068 into the watersH4325 mighty.H5794

12: Moreover with a pillar-H5982 cloudyH6051 You led themH5148 by dayH3119 and with a pillarH5982 of fire,H0784 by nightH3915 to give lightH0215 themH1992 -H0853 on the roadH1870 whichH0834 they should travelH1980

13: And onH5921 MountH2022 Sinai,H5514 You came downH3381 and spokeH1696 with themH5973 from heaven,H8064 and gaveH5414 ordinances,H4941 justH3477 and laws,H8451 TRUEH0571 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687 Good.H2896

16: But theyH1992 and our fathersH0001 acted proudly,H2102 and HardenedH7185 -H0853 their necks,H6203 and notH3808 did listenH8085 untoH0413 Your commandments,H4687

17: and they refusedH3985 to obey,H8085 and notH3808 they were mindfulH2142 of Your wondersH6381 thatH0834 You didH6213 among themH5973 but they hardenedH7185 -H0853 their necks,H6203 and appointedH5414 a leaderH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondage-H5659 in their rebellionH4805 but You [are]H0859 GodH0433 [Ready] to pardon,H5547 GraciousH2587 and merciful,H7349 SlowH0750 to anger,H0639 and AbundantH7227 in kindness,H2617 and notH3808 did forsake them.H5800

18: Even,H0637 whenH3588 they madeH6213 a calf,H5695 moldedH4541 and said,H0559 this [is]H2088 your godH0430 thatH0834 brought you upH5927 out of EgyptH4714 and workedH6213 provocations-H5007 great.H1419

19: And yet YouH0859 in Your merciesH7356 manifoldH7227 notH3808 did forsake themH5800 in the wilderness-H4057 -H0853 the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 notH3808 did departH5493 from themH5921 by day,H3119 to lead themH5148 on the road-H1870 norH0853 the pillarH5982 of fireH0784 by night,H3915 to show light,H0215 andH0853 the wayH1870 thereH0834 they should goH1980

20: And Your SpiritH7307 goodH2896 You gaveH5414 to instruct themH7919 and Your mannaH4478 notH3808 did withholdH4513 from their mouth,H6310 and waterH4325 gaveH5414 for their thirst.H6772

21: And fortyH0705 yearsH8141 You sustained themH3557 in the wilderness,H4057 nothing-H3808 they lackedH2637 their clothesH8008 notH3808 did wear out,H1086 and their feetH7272 notH3808 did swell.H1216

22: Moreover You gaveH5414 kingdomsH4467 and nations,H5971 and divided themH2505 into districts.H6285 So they took possessionH3423 -H0853 of the landH0776 of Sihon,H5511 andH0853 the landH0776 of the kingH4428 of Heshbon,H2809 andH0853 the landH0776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of Bashan.H1316

23: And their childrenH1121 You multipliedH7235 as starsH3556 of the heaven,H8064 and brought themH0935 intoH0413 the land,H0776 whichH0834 You had toldH0559 their fathers,H0001 to go inH0935 and possess.H3423

24: So went inH0935 the sonsH1121 and possessedH3423 -H0853 the land,H0776 and You subduedH3665 before themH6440 -H0853 the inhabitantsH3427 of the land,H0776 the Canaanites,H3669 and gave themH5414 into their hands,H3027 and withH0853 their kings,H4428 andH0853 the peopleH5971 of the land,H0776 that they might doH6213 as they wished.H7522

25: And they tookH3920 cities,H5892 fortifiedH1219 and a land,H0127 richH8082 and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of allH3605 goods,H2898 CisternsH0953 [already] dug,H2672 vineyards,H3754 and olive groves,H2132 and treesH6086 fruitH3978 in abundance.H7230 So they ate,H0398 and were filled,H7646 and grew fat,H8080 and delighted themselvesH5727 in Your goodnessH2898 great.H1419

26: And nevertheless they were disobedient,H4784 and rebelledH4775 and CastH7993 -H0853 Your lawH8451 behindH0310 their backs,H1458 andH0853 Your prophetsH5030 killedH2026 whoH0834 testifiedH5749 to turn themH7725 to YourselfH0413 and they workedH6213 provocationsH5007 great.H1419

27: Therefore You delivered themH5414 into the handH3027 of their enemies,H6862 and who oppressedH3334 and in the timeH6256 of their trouble,H6869 when they criedH6817 to YouH0413 and YouH0859 from heaven-H8064 heardH8085 and according to Your merciesH7356 abundantH7227 You gaveH5414 deliverers,H3467 and who saved themH3467 from the handH3027 of their enemies.H6862

28: But after had rest,H5117 againH7725 they didH6213 evilH7451 before YouH6440 therefore You left themH5800 in the handH3027 of their enemies,H0341 so that they had dominionH7287 and yet when they returned,H7725 and cried out to YouH2199 and YouH0859 from heaven-H8064 heardH8085 and You delivered themH5337 according to Your mercies-H7356 manyH7227 times.H6256

29: And testifiedH5749 that You might bring them backH7725 toH0413 Your law.H8451 And yet theyH1992 acted proudly,H2102 and notH3808 did heedH8085 Your commandments,H4687 but against Your judgments,H4941 sinnedH2398 which ifH0834 does,H6213 a manH0120 and he shall liveH2421 and they shruggedH5414 their shoulders,H3802 a stubbornH5637 and their necks,H6203 StiffenedH7185 and notH3808 would hear.H8085

30: And yet You had patienceH4900 with themH5921 for yearsH8141 manyH7227 and testifiedH5749 by Your SpiritH7307 inH3027 Your prophets,H5030 and yet notH3808 they would listen-H0238 therefore You gave themH5414 into the handH3027 of the peoples ofH5971 the lands.H0776

31: And nevertheless in Your mercyH7356 greatH7227 notH3808 You did consume themH6213 utterlyH3617 norH3808 forsake themH5800 forH3588 God.H0410 GraciousH2587 and mercifulH7349 You [are].H0859

32: And thereforeH6258 our God,H0430 God,H0410 the great,H1419 the mighty,H1368 and awesomeH3372 who keepsH8104 covenantH1285 and mercy,H2617 notH0408 do let seem smallH4591 before YouH6440 -H0853 allH3605 the troubleH8513 thatH0834 has come upon usH4672 Our kings,H4428 and our princes,H8269 and Our priests,H3548 and our prophets,H5030 and Our fathers,H0001 and on allH3605 Your people,H5971 from the daysH3117 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH0804 untilH5704 dayH3117 this.H2088

33: And However You [are]H0859 justH6662 inH5921 allH3605 that has befallenH0935 usH5921 forH3588 faithfully,H0571 You have dealtH6213 but weH0587 have done wickedly-H7561

34: and neitherH0853 our kings,H4428 nor our princes,H8269 Our priests,H3548 nor our fathers,H0001 norH3808 have keptH6213 Your law,H8451 norH3808 heededH7181 untoH0413 Your commandmentsH4687 and Your testimonies,H5715 with whichH0834 You testifiedH5749

35: For theyH1992 in their kingdom,H4438 Or in good [things]H2898 the manyH7227 thatH0834 You gaveH5414 Or in landH0776 the largeH7342 and richH8082 whichH0834 You setH5414 before themH6440 notH3808 have served YouH5647 norH3808 did they turnH7725 from their worksH4611 wicked.H7451

36: Here,H2009 we [are]H0587 today,H3117 servantsH5650 and the landH0776 thatH0834 You gaveH5414 to our fathersH0001 to eatH0398 -H0853 its fruitH6529 andH0853 its bountyH2898 Here,H2009 we [are]H0587 servantsH5650 in it.H5921

37: And [yields] increaseH8393 muchH7235 to the kingsH4428 WhomH0834 You have setH5414 over usH5921 because of our sins-H2403 and overH5921 our bodies,H1472 they have dominionH4910 and our cattle,H0929 at their pleasure,H7522 and in distress.H6869 GreatH1419 we [are].H0587

38: And because of allH3605 thisH2063 weH0587 makeH3772 a sure [covenant]H0548 and write [it]H3789 andH5921 seal [it]H2856 our leaders,H8269 our Levites,H3881 [and] our priests,H3548
