'Supplication' in the Bible
The Lord said, “Surely I will set you free for purposes of good;Surely I will cause the enemy to make supplication to youIn a time of disaster and a time of distress.
“With weeping they will come,And by supplication I will lead them;I will make them walk by streams of waters,On a straight path in which they will not stumble;For I am a father to Israel,And Ephraim is My firstborn.”
Perhaps their supplication will come before the Lord, and everyone will turn from his evil way, for great is the anger and the wrath that the Lord has pronounced against this people.”
