2 Chronicles 7:11-22
11Thus SolomonH8010 finishedH3615 the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the king’sH4428 houseH1004: and all that cameH935 into Solomon’s heartH3820 to makeH6213 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and in his own houseH1004, he prosperously effected. 12And Jehovah appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 by nightH3915, and saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605, and have chosenH977 this placeH4725 to myself for a houseH1004 of sacrificeH2077. 13If I shutH6113 up the heavensH8064 so that there is no rainH4306, or if I commandH6680 the locust to devourH398 the landH776, or if I sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 among my peopleH5971; 14if my peopleH5971, who are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, shall humbleH3665 themselves, and prayH6419, and seekH1245 my faceH6440, and turnH7725 from their wickedH7451 waysH1870; then will I hearH8085 from heavenH8064, and will forgiveH5545 their sinH2403, and will healH7495 their landH776. 15NowH6258 mine eyesH5869 shall beH1961 openH6605, and mine earsH241 attent, unto the prayerH8605 that is made in this placeH4725. 16For nowH6258 have I chosenH977 and hallowed this houseH1004, that my nameH8034 may beH1961 there for everH5769; and mine eyesH5869 and my heartH3820 shall beH1961 there perpetually. 17And as for thee, if thou wilt walkH1980 before me as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, and do according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, and wilt keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and mine ordinancesH4941; 18then I will establishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4438, according as I covenanted with DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not fail thee a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478.
19But if ye turnH7725 awayH7725, and forsakeH5800 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687 which I have setH5414 before you, and shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worship them; 20then will I pluckH5428 them up by the roots out of my landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have hallowed for my nameH8034, will I castH7993 out of my sight, and I will makeH5414 it a proverbH4912 and a bywordH4912 among all peoplesH5971. 21And this houseH1004, which is so high, every oneH2088 that passeth by it shall beH1961 astonished, and shall sayH559, WhyH4100 hath Jehovah done thusH3602 unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004? 22And they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, who broughtH935 them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laid holdH2388 on otherH312 godsH430, and worshipped them, and servedH5647 them: thereforeH3651 hath he broughtH935 all this evilH7451 upon them.
