2 Chronicles 7:12-16
12Then the LordH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 at nightH3915 and saidH559 to him, “I have heardH8085 your prayerH8605 and 1have chosenH977 thisH2088 placeH4725 for Myself as a houseH1004 of sacrificeH2077.
132IfH2005 I shutH6113 upH6113 the heavensH8064 so that there is noH3808 rainH4306, or ifH2005 I commandH6680 the locustH2284 to devourH398 the landH776, or ifH518 I sendH7971 a plagueH1698 among My peopleH5971,
143and My peopleH5971 4whoH834 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, and I will forgiveH5545 their sinH2403 and will healH7495 their landH776.
155NowH6258 My eyesH5869 will be openH6605 and My earsH241 attentiveH7183 to the 6prayerH8605 offered in thisH2088 placeH4725.
16For 7nowH6258 I have chosenH977 and consecratedH6942 thisH2088 houseH1004 so that My nameH8034 may be thereH8033 foreverH5704H5769, and My eyesH5869 and My heartH3820 will be thereH8033 8alwaysH3605H3117.
