1 Kings 8:29-35
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.
33WhenH834 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 are smitten down before the enemyH341, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; if they turnH7725 again to thee, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419 and make supplication unto thee in this houseH1004: 34then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bringH7725 them again unto the landH127 which thou gavest unto their fathersH1.
35When heavenH8064 is shutH6113 up, and there is no rainH4306, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; if they prayH6419 toward this placeH4725, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and turnH7725 from their sinH2398, when thou dost afflictH6031 them:
