If you will search for God And implore the compassion of the Almighty,

“ But as for me, I would seek God, And I would make my plea before God,

I will say to God,‘ Do not condemn me; Let me know why You contend with me.

You will pray to Him, and He will hear you; And you will pay your vows.

My God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our pleas before You based on any merits of our own, but based on Your great compassion.

and while being abusively insulted, He did not insult in return; while suffering, He did not threaten, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;

whatever prayer or plea is offered by any person or by all Your people Israel, each knowing the affliction of his own heart, and spreading his hands toward this house;then hear in heaven, Your dwelling place, and forgive and act, and give to each in accordance with all his ways, whose heart You know— for You alone know the hearts of all mankind—

“ For has anyone said to God,‘ I have endured punishment; I will not offend anymore;Teach me what I do not see; If I have done wrong, I will not do it again’?

When he prayed to Him, He was moved by him and heard his pleading, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord alone is God.

There the upright would argue with Him; And I would be free of my Judge forever.

For I am not aware of anything against myself; however I am not vindicated by this, but the one who examines me is the Lord.

So I gave my attention to the Lord God, to seek Him by prayer and pleading, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.

They will come with weeping, And by pleading I will bring them; I will lead them by streams of waters, On a straight path on which they will not stumble; For I am a father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn.”
