²⁰ And while I was still saying these words in prayer, and putting my sins and the sins of my people Israel before the Lord, and requesting grace from the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God;

⁹ Then at the sound of your voice, the Lord will give an answer; at your cry he will say, Here am I. If you take away from among you the yoke, the putting out of the finger of shame, and the evil word;

¹⁸ The Lord is near all those who give honour to his name; even to all who give honour to him with true hearts.

¹⁶ O Lord, because of your righteousness, let your wrath and your passion be turned away from your town Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because, through our sins and the evil-doing of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a cause of shame to all who are round about us.

²⁴ And before they make their request I will give an answer, and while they are still making prayer to me, I will give ear.

⁵ Then I said, The curse is on me, and my fate is destruction; for I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.

² For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we are false to ourselves and there is nothing true in us.

⁹ If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.

¹⁰ If we say that we have no sin, we make him false and his word is not in us.

² And I saw the holy town, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, like a bride made beautiful for her husband.

¹⁰ And he took me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and let me see the holy town Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

²³ For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,

³¹ Who said, Cornelius, your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your offerings are kept in his memory.

⁵ If I keep not your memory, O Jerusalem, let not my right hand keep the memory of its art.

⁶ If I let you go out of my thoughts, and if I do not put Jerusalem before my greatest joy, let my tongue be fixed to the roof of my mouth.

²⁰ There is no man on earth of such righteousness that he does good and is free from sin all his days.

⁷ I will make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.

⁶ I have put watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will not keep quiet day or night: you who are the Lord's recorders, take no rest,

⁷ And give him no rest, till he puts Jerusalem in her place to be praised in the earth.

³ And turning my face to the Lord God, I gave myself up to prayer, requesting his grace, going without food, in haircloth and dust.

⁴ And I made prayer to the Lord my God, putting our sins before him, and said, O Lord, the great God, greatly to be feared. keeping your agreement and mercy with those who have love for you and do your orders;

² In those days I, Daniel, gave myself up to grief for three full weeks.

³ This is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies The holy mountain.

³¹ And when their prayer was ended, the place where they were was violently moved, and they all became full of the Holy Spirit, preaching the word of God without fear.

⁵ I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah.)
