2 Chronicles 6:28-41

If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness {there be}: {in the cities...: Heb. in the land of their gates} {Then} what prayer {or} what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house: {in: or, toward} {toward...: or, in this place} Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:) That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. {so long...: Heb. all the days which} {in the land: Heb. upon the face of the land} Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house; {toward...: or, in this place} Then hear thou from the heavens, {even} from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as {doth} thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name. {this...: Heb. thy name is called upon this house} If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name; Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. {cause: or, right} If they sin against thee, (for {there is} no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before {their} enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near; {they carry them away captives: Heb. they that take them captives carry them away} Yet {if} they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly; {bethink...: Heb. bring back to their heart} If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and {toward} the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name: Then hear thou from the heavens, {even} from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee. {cause: or, right} Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and {let} thine ears {be} attent unto the prayer {that is made} in this place. {unto...: Heb. to the prayer of this place} Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
