1 Kings 8:35-50

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:

36then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy servantsH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when thou teachest them the goodH2896 wayH1870 whereinH834 they should walkH1870; and sendH5414 rainH4306 uponH5921 thy landH776, whichH834 thou hast givenH5414 to thy peopleH5971 for an inheritanceH5159.

37IfH3588 there be in the landH776 famineH7458, ifH3588 there be pestilenceH1698, ifH3588 there be blasting or mildewH3420, locustH697 or caterpiller; ifH3588 their enemyH341 besiege them in the landH776 of their citiesH8179; whatsoeverH3605 plagueH1698, whatsoeverH3605 sicknessH4245 there be;

38whatH834 prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 soever be madeH3045 by anyH3605 manH376, or by allH3605 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whichH834 shall knowH3045 everyH3605 manH376 the plagueH5061 of his ownH1961 heartH3824, and spreadH6566 forthH3045 his handsH3709 towardH413 this houseH1004:

39then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and forgiveH5545, and doH6213, and renderH5414 unto everyH3605 manH376 accordingH376 to allH3605 his waysH1870, whoseH834 heartH3824 thou knowest; (for thou, evenH3588 thou onlyH905, knowest the heartsH3824 of allH3605 the childrenH1121 of menH376;)

40that they may fearH3372 thee allH3605 the daysH3117 that they liveH2416 in the landH127 whichH834 thou gavest unto our fathersH1.

41MoreoverH1571 concerning the strangerH5237, that is notH3808 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when he shall comeH935 outH413 of a farH7350 countryH776 for thy name’sH8034 sakeH4616;

42(for they shall hearH8085 of thy greatH1419 nameH8034, and of thy mightyH2389 handH3027, and of thy stretchedH5186 outH5186 armH2220;) when he shall comeH935 and prayH6419 towardH413 this houseH1004;

43hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and doH6213 accordingH5921 to allH3605 that the strangerH5237 calleth to thee for; that allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 thy nameH8034, to fearH3372 thee, as doth thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and that they may knowH3045 that this houseH1004 whichH834 I have builtH1129 is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.

44IfH3588 thy peopleH5971 goH3318 outH3318 to battleH4421 againstH5921 their enemyH341, by whatsoever wayH1870 thou shalt sendH7971 them, and they prayH6419 unto the LORDH3068 towardH413 the cityH5892 whichH834 thou hast chosenH977, and towardH413 the houseH1004 whichH834 I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:

45then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467, and maintain their causeH4941.

46IfH3588 they sinH2398 againstH413 thee, (for there is noH3808 manH120 that sinneth notH3808,) and thou be angryH599 with them, and deliverH5414 them to the enemyH341, soH5414 that they carry them awayH7617 captiveH7617 unto the landH776 of the enemyH341, farH7350 offH7350 or nearH7138;

47yet ifH834 they shall bethink themselves in the landH776 whither they are carriedH7617 captiveH7617, and turnH7725 againH7725, and makeH7725 supplication unto thee in the landH776 of them that carriedH7617 them captiveH7617, sayingH559, WeH834 have sinnedH2398, and have doneH2398 perversely, weH834 have dealt wickedlyH7561;

48ifH834 they returnH7725 unto thee with allH3605 their heartH3824 and with allH3605 their soulH5315 in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, whichH834 carriedH7617 them captiveH7617, and prayH6419 unto thee towardH413 their landH776, whichH834 thou gavest unto their fathersH1, the cityH5892 whichH834 thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 whichH834 I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:

49then hearH8085 thou their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467 in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and maintain their causeH4941;

50and forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 whichH834 have sinnedH2398 againstH6440 thee, and allH3605 their transgressionsH6588 whereinH834 they have transgressedH6586 againstH6440 thee; and giveH5414 them compassionH7355 beforeH6440 thoseH3605 who carriedH7617 them captiveH7617, that they may have compassionH7355 on them:
