1 Kings 8:29-32
291so that 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 will pray toward this place. 30And 3listen to the plea 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 person sins against his neighbor and is compelled to take an oath of innocence, 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 8bringing his way on his own head, and acquitting the righteous by giving him according to his righteousness.
