2 Chronicles 6:20-25

20that your eyes may be open day and night toward this house, the place where you have promised to set your name, that you may listen to the prayer that your servant offers toward this place.

21And listen to the pleas of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. And listen from heaven your dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive.

22"If a man sins against his neighbor and is made to take an oath and comes and swears his oath before your altar in this house,

23then hear from heaven and act and judge your servants, repaying the guilty by bringing his conduct on his own head, and vindicating the righteous by rewarding him according to his righteousness.

24"If your people Israel are defeated before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and acknowledge your name and pray and plead with you in this house,

25then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and bring them again to the land that you gave to them and to their fathers.
