1 Kings 8:49

1 Kings 8:49

47 ^ayet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of those who took them captive, ^bsaying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong, we have committed wickedness’;

48 and when they ^areturn to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and ^bpray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name:

49 then hear in heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their¹ cause,

50 and forgive Your people who have sinned against You, and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You; and ^agrant them compassion before those who took them captive, that they may have compassion on them

51 (for ^athey are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, ^bout of the iron furnace),

Their course - Heb. their right, against their invaders and oppressors. For they had forfeited all their rights to God only, but not to their enemies; whom tho' God used as scourges to chastise his peoples sins, yet they had no pretence of right to their land.
