“ After I had given the copies of the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD,

Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying,

Lord, when I bring a matter to you, you always do what is right. But now I would like to speak with you about whether you are being fair. Why are sinful people successful? Why do those who can’t be trusted have an easy life?

Don’t worry about anything. No matter what happens, tell God about everything. Ask and pray, and give thanks to him.Then God’s peace will watch over your hearts and your minds. He will do this because you belong to Christ Jesus. God’s peace can never be completely understood.

Then Jacob prayed,“ You are the God of my grandfather Abraham. You are the God of my father Isaac. Lord, you are the one who said to me,‘ Go back to your country and your relatives. Then I will give you success.’You have been very kind and faithful to me. But I’m not worthy of any of this. When I crossed this Jordan River, all I had was my walking stick. But now I’ve become two camps.Please save me from the hand of my brother Esau. I’m afraid he’ll come and attack me and the mothers with their children.But you have said,‘ I will surely give you success. I will make your children as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. People will not be able to count them.’ ”

They will say,‘ This land was completely destroyed. But now it’s like the Garden of Eden. The cities were full of broken- down buildings. They were destroyed and empty. But now they have high walls around them. And people live in them.’Then the nations that remain around you will know that I have rebuilt what was once destroyed. I have planted again the fields that were once empty. I have spoken. And I will do this. I am the Lord.”The Lord and King says,“ Once again I will answer Israel’s prayer. Here is what I will do for them. I will multiply them as if they were sheep.

Then King David went into the holy tent. He sat down in front of the Lord. He said,“ Lord and King, who am I? My family isn’t important. So why have you brought me this far?I would have thought that you had already done more than enough for me. But now, Lord and King, you have also said what will happen to my royal house in days to come. And, my Lord and King, this promise is for a mere human being!“ What more can I say to you? Lord and King, you know all about me.You have done a wonderful thing. You have made it known to me. You have done it because that’s what you said you would do. It’s exactly what you wanted to do for me.“ Lord and King, how great you are! There isn’t anyone like you. There isn’t any God but you. We have heard about it with our own ears.Who is like your people Israel? God, we are the one nation on earth you have saved. You have set us free for yourself. Your name has become famous. You have done great and wonderful things. You have driven out nations and their gods to make room for your people. You saved us when you set us free from Egypt.You made Israel your very own people forever. Lord, you have become our God.“ And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise you have made to me and my royal house. Do exactly as you promised.
