1 Kings 8:37-40

37“1If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or grasshopper, if their enemy besieges them in the land of their 2cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is, 38whatever prayer or supplication is made by any man or by all Your people Israel, 3each knowing the 4affliction of his own heart, and spreading his 5hands toward this house; 39then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive and act and render to each according to all his ways, 6whose heart You know, for 7You alone know the hearts of all the sons of men, 40that they may 8fear You all the days that they live 9in the land which You have given to our fathers.
