2 Chronicles 7:12-22

12the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 toH413 him at nightH3915 and saidH559 to him:

“I have heardH8085 your prayerH8605 and have chosenH977 thisH2088 placeH4725 for Myself as a houseH1004 of sacrificeH2077. 13IfH2005 I closeH6113 the skyH8064 so there isH1961 noH3808 rainH4306, or ifH2005 I commandH6680H5921 the locustH2284 to devourH398 the landH776, or ifH518 I sendH7971 a plagueH1698 among My peopleH5971, 14and if My peopleH5971 whoH834 are calledH7121 byH5921 My nameH8034 humble themselvesH3665 and prayH6419 and seekH1245 My faceH6440 and turnH7725 fromH4480 their wickedH7451 waysH1870, then IH589 will hearH8085 from heavenH8064, forgiveH5545 their sinH2403, and healH7495 their landH776.

15NowH6258 My eyesH5869 will beH1961 openH6605 and My earsH241 attentiveH7183 to the prayers offeredH8605 in thisH2088 placeH4725. 16For I have now chosenH6258H977 and consecratedH6942 thisH2088 templeH1004 so that My NameH8034 may beH1961 thereH8033 foreverH5704H5769. My eyesH5869 and My heartH3820 will beH1961 thereH8033 for all timeH3605H3117.

17And as for youH859, ifH518 you walkH1980 before MeH6440 asH834 your fatherH1 DavidH1732 walkedH1980, doingH6213 allH3605 I have commanded youH6680, and if you keepH8104 My statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941, 18then I will establishH6965 your royalH4438 throneH3678, asH834 I covenantedH3772 with your fatherH1 DavidH1732 when I saidH559, ‘You will neverH3808 failH3772 to have a manH376 to ruleH4910 over IsraelH3478.’

19But ifH518 youH859 turn awayH7725 and forsakeH5800 the statutesH2708 and commandmentsH4687 I have setH5414 before youH6440, and if you go offH1980 to serveH5647 and worshipH7812 otherH312 godsH430, 20then I will uproot IsraelH5428 fromH5921 the soilH127 I have givenH5414 them, and I will banishH7993 fromH5921 My presenceH6440 thisH2088 templeH1004 I have sanctifiedH6942 for My NameH8034. I will make itH5414 an object of scornH4912 and ridiculeH8148 among allH3605 the peoplesH5971.

21And when thisH2088 templeH1004 has becomeH1961 a heap of rubbleH5945,1 allH3605 who passH5674 by itH5921 will be appalledH8074 and sayH559, ‘WhyH4100 has the LORDH3068 doneH6213 such a thingH3602 to thisH2063 landH776 and to thisH2088 templeH1004?’ 22And others will answerH559, ‘BecauseH5921 they have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, whoH834 brought themH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and have embracedH2388 otherH312 godsH430, worshipingH7812 and serving themH5647—because ofH5921 thisH3651, He has broughtH935 allH3605 thisH2063 disasterH7451 upon themH5921.’”
