⁵ I said, "Lord, you are the God of heaven. You are a great and wonderful God. You keep the covenant you made with those who love you and obey your commands. You show them your love. ⁶ "Please pay careful attention to my prayer. See how your people are suffering. Please listen to me. I'm praying to you day and night. I'm praying for the people of Israel. We Israelites have committed sins against you. All of us admit it. I and my family have also sinned against you. ⁷ We've done some very evil things. We haven't obeyed the commands, rules and laws you gave your servant Moses. ⁸ "Remember what you told him. You said, 'If you people are not faithful, I will scatter you among the nations. ⁹ But if you return to me, I will bring you back. If you obey my commands, I will gather you together again. I will bring you back from the farthest places on earth. I will bring you to the special place where I have chosen to put my Name.' ¹⁰ "Lord, they are your people. They serve you. You used your great strength and mighty hand to set them free from Egypt. ¹¹ Lord, please pay careful attention to my prayer. Listen to the prayers of all of us. We take delight in bringing honor to your name. Give me success today. Help King Artaxerxes show me his favor." I was the king's wine taster.
