1 Kings 8:50-52

The Voice

⁵⁰ forgive Your people who have wronged You, erase all their sins, and transform them into examples of compassion in the sight of their captors so that their enemies might be compassionate toward them.

⁵¹ These are Your people, the vessels of Your earthly legacy, whom You led out of Egypt and away from the iron furnace of slavery ⁵² so that Your eyes may be open to the requests of those who serve You—Your people Israel—and hear them whenever they call out to You.
