2 Chronicles 7:11-22

111Thus SolomonH8010 finishedH3615 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and the king’sH4428 palaceH1004, and successfullyH6743 completedH6743 allH3605 that 2he had plannedH935H5921H3820 on doingH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and in his palaceH1004.

12Then the LordH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 at nightH3915 and saidH559 to him, “I have heardH8085 your prayerH8605 and 3have chosenH977 thisH2088 placeH4725 for Myself as a houseH1004 of sacrificeH2077. 134IfH2005 I shutH6113 up the heavensH8064 so that there is noH3808 rainH4306, or ifH2005 I commandH6680 the locustH2284 to devourH398 the landH776, or ifH518 I sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 among My peopleH5971, 145and My peopleH5971 6whoH834 are calledH7121 by My nameH8034 humbleH3665 themselves and prayH6419 and seekH1245 My faceH6440 and turnH7725 from their wickedH7451 waysH1870, then I will hearH8085 from heavenH8064, will forgiveH5545 their sinH2403 and will healH7495 their landH776. 157NowH6258 My eyesH5869 will be openH6605 and My earsH241 attentiveH7183 to the 8prayerH8605 offered in thisH2088 placeH4725. 16For 9nowH6258 I have chosenH977 and consecratedH6942 thisH2088 houseH1004 that My nameH8034 may be thereH8033 foreverH5704H5769, and My eyesH5869 and My heartH3820 will be thereH8033 perpetuallyH3605H3117. 17As for you, ifH518 you walkH1980 beforeH6440 Me as your fatherH1 DavidH1732 walkedH1980, even to doH6213 according to allH3605 that I have commandedH6680 you, and will keepH8104 My statutesH2706 and My ordinancesH4941, 18then I will establishH6965 your royalH4438 throneH3678 as I covenantedH3772 with your fatherH1 DavidH1732, sayingH559, ‘1011You shall not lackH3772 a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478.’

19“12But ifH518 you turnH7725 awayH7725 and forsakeH5800 My statutesH2708 and My commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, and goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430 and worshipH7812 them, 2013then I will uprootH5428 you from My landH127 whichH834 I have givenH5414 14you, and thisH2088 houseH1004 whichH834 I have consecratedH6942 for My nameH8034 I will castH7993 out of My sightH6440 and I will makeH5414 it 15a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among allH3605 peoplesH5971. 21As for thisH2088 houseH1004, whichH834 was exaltedH5945, everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 by it will be astonishedH8074 and sayH559, ‘16WhyH4100 has the LordH3068 doneH6213 thusH3602 to thisH2088 landH776 and to thisH2088 houseH1004?’ 22And they will sayH559, ‘BecauseH5921H834 17they forsookH5800 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1 whoH834 broughtH3318 them from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and they adoptedH2388 otherH312 godsH430 and worshipedH7812 them and servedH5647 them; thereforeH5921H3651 He has broughtH935 allH3605 thisH2088 adversityH7463 on them.’”
