1 Kings 8:29-35

29that thine eyesH5869 may be openH6605 towardH413 this houseH1004 nightH3915 and dayH3117, even towardH413 the placeH4725 whereof thou hast saidH559, My nameH8034 shall be there: to hearken unto the prayerH8605 whichH834 thy servantH5650 shall prayH6419 towardH413 this placeH4725.

30And hearken thou to the supplicationH8467 of thy servantH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when they shall prayH6419 towardH413 this placeH4725: yea, hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4725; and when thou hearest, forgiveH5545.

31IfH834 a manH376 sinH2398 againstH6440 his neighbour, and an oathH423 be laidH6440 uponH935 him to cause him to swear, and he comeH935 and swear beforeH6440 thine altarH4196 in this houseH1004:

32then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and doH6213, and judgeH8199 thy servantsH5650, condemningH7561 the wickedH7563, to bringH5414 his wayH1870 upon his own headH7218; and justifyingH6663 the righteousH6662, to giveH5414 him according to his righteousnessH6666.

33When thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 the enemyH341, becauseH834 they have sinnedH2398 againstH413 thee; ifH834 they turnH7725 againH7725 to thee, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419 and makeH7725 supplicationH6419 unto thee in this houseH1004:

34then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bringH7725 them againH7725 unto the landH127 whichH834 thou gavest unto their fathersH1;

35When heavenH8064 is shutH6113 upH853, and there is noH3808 rainH4306, becauseH3588 they have sinnedH2398 againstH413 thee; ifH3588 they prayH6419 towardH413 this placeH4725, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and turnH7725 from their sinH2398, when thou dost afflictH6031 them:
