'Pleading' in the Bible

Pleading guilty, they promised to divorce their wives. Then they offered a ram from their flocks for their offense.

All the relatives of a poor person shun him how much more do his friends avoid him! Though he runs after them pleading, they aren't around.

"A voice is heard on the barren heights, the weeping and pleading of the children of Israel because they have perverted their way. They have forgotten the LORD their God."
