2 Chronicles 6:24-40

24And if thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 are defeatedH5062 byH6440 the enemyH341, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; and shall returnH7725 and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419 and make supplicationH2603 beforeH6440 thee in this houseH1004;12 25Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bring them againH7725 to the landH127 which thou gavestH5414 to them and to their fathersH1. 26When the heavenH8064 is shut upH6113, and there is no rainH4306, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; yet if they prayH6419 toward this placeH4725, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and turnH7725 from their sinH2403, when thou dost afflictH6031 them;3 27Then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy servantsH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when thou hast taughtH3384 them the goodH2896 wayH1870, in which they should walkH3212; and sendH5414 rainH4306 upon thy landH776, which thou hast givenH5414 to thy peopleH5971 for an inheritanceH5159. 28If there shall be famineH7458 in the landH776, if there be pestilenceH1698, if there be blightingH7711, or mildewH3420, locustsH697, or caterpillersH2625; if their enemiesH341 shall besiegeH6887 them in the citiesH8179 of their landH776; whatever calamityH5061 or whatever sicknessH4245 there be :4 29Then whatever prayerH8605 or whatever supplicationH8467 shall be made by any manH120, or by all the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, when every oneH376 shall knowH3045 his own calamityH5061 and his own griefH4341, and shall spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 in this houseH1004:56 30Then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and forgiveH5545, and renderH5414 to every manH376 according to all his waysH1870, whose heartH3824 thou knowestH3045; (for thou only knowestH3045 the heartsH3824 of the childrenH1121 of menH120:) 31That they may fearH3372 thee, to walkH3212 in thy waysH1870, so long asH3117 they liveH2416H6440 in the landH127 which thou gavestH5414 to our fathersH1.78 32Moreover concerning the strangerH5237, who is not of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, but hath comeH935 from a distantH7350 countryH776 for thy greatH1419 name’sH8034 sake, and thy mightyH2389 handH3027, and thy outstretchedH5186 armH2220; if they comeH935 and prayH6419 in this houseH1004;9 33Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, even from 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, and fearH3372 thee, as do thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and may knowH3045 that this houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.10 34If thy peopleH5971 go outH3318 to warH4421 against their enemiesH341 by the wayH1870 that thou shalt sendH7971 them, and they prayH6419 to thee towardH1870 this cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034; 35Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064 their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941.11 36If they sinH2398 against thee, (for there is no manH120 who sinnethH2398 not,) and thou be angryH599 with them, and deliverH5414 them over beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, and they carry them awayH7617 captivesH7617 to a landH776 far offH7350 or nearH7138;12 37Yet if they take it to their heartsH7725H3824 in the landH776 where they are carried captiveH7617, and turnH7725 and prayH2603 to thee in the landH776 of their captivityH7628, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, we have done amissH5753, and have dealt wickedlyH7561;13 38If they returnH7725 to thee with all their heartH3820 and with all their soulH5315 in the landH776 of their captivityH7628, where they have carried them captivesH7617, and prayH6419 towardH1870 their landH776, which thou gavestH5414 to their fathersH1, and toward the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and toward the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034: 39Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, even from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, their prayerH8605 and their supplicationsH8467, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941, and forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 who have sinnedH2398 against thee.14 40Now, my GodH430, let, I beseech thee, thy eyesH5869 be openH6605, and let thy earsH241 be attentiveH7183 to the prayerH8605 that is made in this placeH4725.15
