25 Then humbled I my self before the Lord forty days and forty nights, for I humbled my self because the Lord had said that he would destroy you. 26 And I prayed to the Lord & said: Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine heritage, which thou hast gotten by thy mighty power, and whom thou hast brought out of Egypt by strong hand. 27 Bethink thee of thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Have not an eye to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their misbelief, nor to their sin: 28 Least the inhabitants of the land from whence thou hast brought us, do say: because the Lord could not bring them into the land whereof he had spoken to them, or because he hated them: therefore hath he brought them forth to kill them in the wilderness. 29 Moreover, they be thy people, and thine heritage, whom thou hast brought out with thy great power, and with thine arm stretched out.
