2that 1HananiH2607, oneH259 of my brothersH251, and 2some menH376 from JudahH3063 cameH935; and I askedH7592 them concerningH5921 the JewsH3064 who had escapedH6413 and had survivedH7604 the captivityH7628, and aboutH5921 JerusalemH3389. 3They saidH559 to me, “The remnantH7604 thereH8033 in the 3provinceH4082 whoH834 survivedH7604 the captivityH7628 are in greatH1419 distressH7463 and 4reproachH2781, and 5the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 is brokenH6555 downH6555 and 6its gatesH8179 are burnedH3341 with fireH784.”

4When I heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697, 7I satH3427 downH3427 and weptH1058 and mournedH56 for daysH3117; and I was fastingH6684 and prayingH6419 beforeH6440 8the GodH430 of heavenH8064. 5I saidH559, “I beseechH577 You, O LordH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064, 9the greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 GodH410, 10who preservesH8104 the covenantH1285 and lovingkindnessH2617 for those who loveH157 Him and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687,
