16 And after I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Nerias, I prayed to the Lord, saying,
17 self-existent Lord, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and by thy high and exalted arm. From thee nothing can be hid.
18 Thou shewest mercy to thousands and retributest the sins of fathers into the bosoms of their children after them.
19 Thou art the God, the Great, the Mighty One, the Lord of great counsel, and mighty in works, the Mighty Omnipotent God, and the Lord of great renown. Thine eyes are on the ways of the children of men to give to every one according to his way.
20 Thou hast done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt which continue even to this day; and in Israel and among the inhabitants of the earth; and hast made thyself a name as at this day.
21 Thou didst bring thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders and with a strong hand and an outstretched arm and with stupendous visions,
22 and gavest them this land which with an oath thou hadst promised to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
23 But when they entered in and had taken possession of it, they hearkened not to thy voice nor walked in thy statutes. They did not do all that thou commandedst them, so they have brought upon themselves all these evils.
24 Behold a multitude is come up against this city to take it; and this city is about to be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, by reason of the sword and famine. As thou hast spoken, so it hath come to pass.
25 Now thou sayest to me, Buy thee a field for money. Accordingly I have signed the deed of purchase and sealed it and had it witnessed; though the city is about to be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.
26 Then a word of the Lord came to me saying,
27 I the Lord am the God of all flesh. From me nothing can be hid.
