1 Kings 8:35-50

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: 36then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy servantsH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when thou teachest them the goodH2896 wayH1870 wherein they should walk; and send rainH4306 upon thy landH776, which thou hast givenH5414 to thy peopleH5971 for an inheritanceH5159.

37If there beH1961 in the landH776 famineH7458, if there beH1961 pestilenceH1698, if there beH1961 blasting or mildewH3420, locustH697 or caterpillar; if their enemyH341 besiege them in the landH776 of their cities; whatsoever plagueH1698, whatsoever sicknessH4245 there beH1961; 38what prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 soever beH1961 madeH3045 by any manH376, or by all thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, who shall knowH3045 every manH376 the plagueH5061 of his own heartH3824, and spreadH6566 forth his handsH3709 toward this houseH1004: 39then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwelling-place, and forgiveH5545, and do, and render unto every manH376 according to all his waysH1870, whose heartH3824 thou knowest; (for thou, even thou onlyH905, knowest the heartsH3824 of all the children of menH376;) 40that they may fearH3372 thee all the daysH3117 that they live in the landH127 which thou gavest unto our fathersH1.

41Moreover concerningH413 the foreignerH5237, that is not of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whenH834 he shall comeH935 out of a farH7350 country for thy name’sH8034 sakeH4616 42(for they shall hearH8085 of thy greatH1419 nameH8034, and of thy mightyH2389 handH3027, and of thine outstretchedH5186 armH2220); when he shall comeH935 and prayH6419 toward this houseH1004; 43hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreignerH5237 calleth to thee for; that all the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 thy nameH8034, to fearH3372 thee, as doth thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and that they may knowH3045 that this houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.

44If thy peopleH5971 goH3318 out to battleH4421 against their enemyH341, by whatsoever wayH1870 thou shalt sendH7971 them, and they prayH6419 unto Jehovah toward the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and toward the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034; 45then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467, and maintain their cause.

46If they sinH2398 against thee (for there is no manH120 that sinneth not), and thou be angryH599 with them, and deliver them to the enemyH341, so that they carry them away captiveH7617 unto the landH776 of the enemyH341, farH7350 off or near; 47yet if they shall bethink themselves in the landH776 whither they are carried captiveH7617, and turnH7725 again, and make supplication unto thee in the landH776 of them that carried them captiveH7617, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedlyH7561; 48if they returnH7725 unto thee with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315 in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, who carried them captiveH7617, and prayH6419 unto thee toward their landH776, which thou gavest unto their fathersH1, the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034: 49then hearH8085 thou their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467 in heavenH8064 thy dwelling-place, and maintain their cause; 50and forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 who have sinnedH2398 against thee, and all their transgressionsH6588 wherein they have transgressedH6586 against thee; and giveH5414 them compassionH7355 before those who carried them captiveH7617, that they may have compassionH7355 on them
