Chapter
1
I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the LORD's house."
2
And now we are here, standing inside the gates of Jerusalem!
3
Jerusalem is a city restored in beautiful order and harmony.
4
This is where the tribes come, the tribes of Israel, to give thanks to the LORD according to his command.
5
Here the kings of Israel sat to judge their people.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you prosper.
7
May there be peace inside your walls and safety in your palaces."
8
For the sake of my relatives and friends I say to Jerusalem, "Peace be with you!"
9
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I pray for your prosperity.
