2 Chronicles 6:24-40

24And if thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be smitten down before the enemyH341, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee, and shall turnH7725 again and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419 and make supplication before thee in this houseH1004; 25then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bringH7725 them again unto the landH127 which thou gavest to them and to their fathersH1.

26When the heavensH8064 are 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: 27then 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.

28If there beH1961 in the landH776 famineH7458, if there beH1961 pestilenceH1698, if there beH1961 blasting or mildewH3420, locustH697 or caterpillar; if their enemiesH341 besiege them in the landH776 of their cities; whatsoever plagueH1698 or whatsoever sicknessH4245 there beH1961; 29what prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 soever beH1961 madeH3045 by any manH376, or by all thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, who shall knowH3045 every manH376 his own plagueH5061 and his own sorrow, and shall spreadH6566 forth his handsH3709 toward this houseH1004: 30then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064 thy dwelling-place, and forgiveH5545, and render unto every manH376 according to all his waysH1870, whose heartH3824 thou knowest (for thou, even thou onlyH905, knowest the heartsH3824 of the children of menH376); 31that they may fearH3372 thee, to walk in thy waysH1870, soH4616 long as they live in the landH127 which thou gavest unto our fathersH1.

32Moreover concerningH413 the foreignerH5237, that is not of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whenH834 he shall comeH935 from a farH7350 country for thy greatH1419 name’sH8034 sakeH4616, and thy mightyH2389 handH3027, and thine outstretchedH5186 armH2220; whenH834 they shall comeH935 and prayH6419 toward this houseH1004: 33then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064, even from 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, and fearH3372 thee, as doth thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and that they may knowH3045 that this houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.

34If thy peopleH5971 goH3318 out to battleH4421 against their enemiesH341, by whatsoever wayH1870 thou shalt sendH7971 them, and they prayH6419 unto thee toward this cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034; 35then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064 their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467, and maintain their cause.

36If 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 a landH776 farH7350 off or near; 37yet 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 their captivityH7633, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedlyH7561; 38if they returnH7725 unto thee with all their heartH3820 and with all their soulH5315 in the landH776 of their captivityH7633, whither they have carried them captiveH7617, and prayH6419 toward their landH776, which thou gavest unto their fathersH1, and the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and toward the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034: 39then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064, even from thy dwelling-place, their prayerH8605 and their supplicationsH8467, and maintain their cause, and forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 who have sinnedH2398 against thee.

40NowH6258, O my GodH430, let, I beseech thee, thine eyesH5869 beH1961 openH6605, and let thine earsH241 beH1961 attent, unto the prayerH8605 that is made in this placeH4725.
