1 Kings 8:29-32

29that thine eyesH5869 may beH1961 openH6605 toward this houseH1004 nightH3915 and dayH3117, even toward the placeH4725 whereof thou hast saidH559, My nameH8034 shall beH1961 there; to hearken unto the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 shall prayH6419 toward this placeH4725. 30And hearken thou to the supplicationH8467 of thy servantH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whenH834 they shall prayH6419 toward this placeH4725: yea, hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwelling-place; and whenH834 thou hearest, forgiveH5545.

31If a manH376 sinH2398 against his neighborH7453, and an oathH423 be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comeH935 and swear before thine altarH4196 in this houseH1004; 32then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and do, and judgeH8199 thy servantsH5650, condemningH7561 the wickedH7563, to bring his wayH1870 upon his own headH7218, and justifyingH6663 the righteousH6662, to giveH5414 him according to his righteousnessH6666.
