Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them
again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
35
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they
pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:
36
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou
teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast
given to thy people for an inheritance.

38
What prayer and supplication soever be

this house:
39
Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every
man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou,
even
thou only, knowest the hearts
of all the children of men;)

thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
43
Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee

do
thy people Israel; and that
they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.

toward
the house that I have
built for thy name:

them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the
city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
49
Then hear thou their
prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
50
