Liturgy for II Kings 13:23
וַיָּחָן֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֹתָ֤ם וַֽיְרַחֲמֵם֙ וַיִּ֣פֶן אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם לְמַ֣עַן בְּרִית֔וֹ אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֖ם יִצְחָ֣ק וְיַֽעֲקֹ֑ב וְלֹ֤א אָבָה֙ הַשְׁחִיתָ֔ם וְלֹֽא־הִשְׁלִיכָ֥ם מֵֽעַל־פָּנָ֖יו עַד־עָֽתָּה׃
But the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither hath He cast them from His presence until now.
Selichot Edot HaMizrach
Do [it] for the sake of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, do [it] for the sake of Moses and Aharon, do [it] for the sake of David and Solomon, do [it] for the sake of Jerusalem the holy city, do [it] for the sake of Zion Your glorious tabernacle, do [it] for the sake of the destruction of Your House, do [it] for the sake of the desolation of Your sanctuary, do [it] for the sake of Israel the poor, do [it] for the sake of Israel the indigent, do [it] for the sake of Israel overwhelmed by troubles, do [it] for the sake of orphans and widows, do [it] for the sake of those that suckle the breast, do [it] for the sake of those that are weaned from milk, do [it] for the sake of the children of their teacher’s school that have not sinned (Zohar 2:39a:3).
