1 Kings 8:49-51

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴⁹ then hear in heaven your dwelling-place their prayer and their plea, maintain their cause, ⁵⁰ and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions that they have committed against you; and grant them compassion in the sight of their captors, so that they may have compassion on them ⁵¹ (for they are your people and heritage, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron-smelter).
