And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
