And thou didst promise, out of love to the house of Israel, that should we fall away from thee, and become afflicted, and then come to this house and pray, thou wouldest hear our prayer.
Greek · Brenton
Καὶ ἀγαπῶν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἐπηγγείλω δὴ ὃτι ἐὰν γένηται ἡμῶν ἀποστροφὴ, καὶ καταλάβῃ ἡμᾶς στενοχωρία, καὶ ἐλθόντες εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτου δεηθῶμεν, εἰσακούσῃ τῆς δεήσεως ἡμῶν.
