2 Chronicles 6:20-25

20Day and night may your eyes be on this temple, the place about which you said your name will be there. Listen to me as I pray toward this place.

21Hear the plea for mercy that your people Israel and I pray toward this place. Hear us in heaven, the place where you live. Hear and forgive.

22“If anyone sins against another person and is required to take an oath and comes to take the oath in front of your altar in this temple,

23then hear ⌞that person⌟ in heaven, take action, and make a decision. Repay the guilty person with the proper punishment, but declare the innocent person innocent.

24“An enemy may defeat your people Israel because they have sinned against you. But when your people turn, praise your name, pray, and plead with you in this temple,

25then hear ⌞them⌟ in heaven, forgive the sins of your people Israel, and bring them back to the land that you gave to them and their ancestors.
