2 Chronicles 6:24-31

24“If Your people Israel are 1defeated before an enemy because 2they have sinned against You, and they return to You and praise Your name, and pray and plead before You in this house, 25then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You have given to them and to their fathers.

26“When the 3heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and praise Your name, and turn from their sin when You afflict them, 27then hear in heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants and Your people Israel; indeed, 4teach them the good way in which they are to walk. And provide rain on Your land, which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

28“If there is a 5famine in the land, if there is a plague, if there is blight or mildew, if there is locust or grasshopper, if their enemies besiege them in the land of their 6cities, whatever plague or whatever sickness there is, 29whatever prayer or plea is made by anyone or by all Your people Israel, 7each knowing his own affliction and his own pain, and spreading his hands toward this house, 30then hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to each according to all his ways, whose heart You know--8for You alone know the hearts of the sons of mankind-- 31so that they may 9fear You, to walk in Your ways 10as long as they live in the land which You have given to our fathers.
