1 Kings 8:33-48

33When thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 the enemyH341, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee, and shall turn againH7725 to thee, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419, and make supplicationH2603 unto thee in this houseH1004:1 34Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bring them againH7725 unto the landH127 which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1.

35When heavenH8064 is shut upH6113, and there is no rainH4306, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; if they prayH6419 toward this placeH4725, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and turnH7725 from their sinH2403, when thou afflictestH6031 them: 36Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy servantsH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, that thou teachH3384 them the goodH2896 wayH1870 wherein they should walkH3212, and giveH5414 rainH4306 upon thy landH776, which thou hast givenH5414 to thy peopleH5971 for an inheritanceH5159.

37If there be in the landH776 famineH7458, if there be pestilenceH1698, blastingH7711, mildewH3420, locustH697, or if there be caterpillerH2625; if their enemyH341 besiegeH6887 them in the landH776 of their citiesH8179; whatsoever plagueH5061, whatsoever sicknessH4245 there be;2 38What prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 soever be made by any manH120, or by all thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, which shall knowH3045 every manH376 the plagueH5061 of his own heartH3824, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 toward this houseH1004: 39Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and forgiveH5545, and doH6213, and giveH5414 to every manH376 according to his waysH1870, whose heartH3824 thou knowestH3045; (for thou, even thou only, knowestH3045 the heartsH3824 of all the childrenH1121 of menH120;) 40That they may fearH3372 thee all the daysH3117 that they liveH2416 inH6440 the landH127 which thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1. 41Moreover concerning a strangerH5237, that is not of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, but cometh outH935 of a farH7350 countryH776 forH4616 thy name’sH8034 sake; 42(For they shall hearH8085 of thy greatH1419 nameH8034, and of thy strongH2389 handH3027, and of thy stretched outH5186 armH2220;) when he shall comeH935 and prayH6419 toward this houseH1004; 43HearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and doH6213 according to all that the strangerH5237 callethH7121 to thee for: that all peopleH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 thy nameH8034, to fearH3372 thee, as do thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and that they may knowH3045 that this houseH1004, which I have buildedH1129, is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.3

44If thy peopleH5971 go outH3318 to battleH4421 against their enemyH341, whithersoeverH1870 thou shalt sendH7971 them, and shall prayH6419 unto YhwhH3068 towardH1870 the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and toward the houseH1004 that I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:4 45Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941.5 46If they sinH2398 against thee, (for there is no manH120 that sinnethH2398 not,) and thou be angryH599 with them, and deliverH5414 them to the enemyH341, so that they carry them awayH7617 captivesH7617 untoH6440 the landH776 of the enemyH341, farH7350 or nearH7138; 47Yet if they shall bethinkH7725 themselves in the landH776 whither they were carried captivesH7617, and repentH3820H7725, and make supplicationH2603 unto thee in the landH776 of them that carried them captivesH7617, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, and have done perverselyH5753, we have committed wickednessH7561;6 48And so returnH7725 unto thee with all their heartH3824, and with all their soulH5315, in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, which led them away captiveH7617, and prayH6419 unto thee towardH1870 their landH776, which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1, the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:
