New American Standard Bible 1995
1 Kings 8:29-35
291that Your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, toward 2the place of which You have said, ‘My name shall be there,’ to listen to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place. 303Listen to the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, 4when they pray toward this place; hear in heaven Your dwelling place; hear and 5forgive.
31“6If a man sins against his neighbor and is made to take an oath, and he comes and takes an oath before Your altar in this house, 32then hear in heaven and act and judge Your servants, 7condemning the wicked by bringing his way on his own head and justifying the righteous by giving him according to his righteousness.
33“8When Your people Israel are 9defeated before an enemy, because they have sinned against You, 10if they turn to You again and confess Your name and pray and make supplication to You in this house, 34then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers.
35“11When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain, because they have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name and turn from their sin when You afflict them,
