^6 (A)let Your ear now be attentive and Your eyes open, to hear the prayer of Your servant which I am praying before You now, day and night, on behalf of the sons of Israel Your servants, ^(B)confessing the sins of the sons of Israel which we have committed against You; ^(C)I and my father’s house have sinned.

¹¹ Please, Lord, ^(A)may Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and the prayer of Your servants who delight to ^[a]revere Your name, and please make Your servant successful today and grant him mercy before this man.”

Now I was the ^(B)cupbearer to the king.
