And I made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which you sinned in doing evil before the Lord God, to provoke Him.

And He was angry with Aaron to destroy him utterly, and I prayed for Aaron also at that time.

And I prayed to God, and said, O Lord, King of gods, destroy not Your people and Your inheritance, whom You redeemed, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with Your great power, and with Your strong hand, and with Your outstretched arm.

Lest the inhabitants of the land from which You brought us out speak, saying, Because the Lord could not bring them into the land of which He spoke to them, and because He hated them, has He brought them forth to slay them in the wilderness.

Righteous are You, O Lord, that I may make my defense to You: yet I will speak to You [of] judgments. Why [is it] that the way of the ungodly prospers? [And] all that deal very treacherously are flourishing?

You have planted them, and they have taken root; they have begotten children, and become fruitful; You are near to their mouth, but far from their mind.
