1 Kings 8:37-40

37“1If there is a famine in the land, if there is a plague, if there is 2blight or mildew, locust or grasshopper, if their enemy harasses them in the land of their 3cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is, 38whatever prayer or plea 4is offered by any person or by all Your people Israel, 5each knowing the affliction of his own heart, and spreading his 6hands toward this house; 39then hear in heaven, Your dwelling place, and forgive and act, and give to each in accordance with all his ways, 7whose heart You know--for 8You alone know the hearts of all 9mankind-- 40so that they will 10fear You all the days that they live on the 11land which You have given to our fathers.
