2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 6:28–30

²⁸When famine or plague comes upon the land, or blight or mildew or locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies besiege them in their cities, whatever plague or sickness may come, ²⁹then may whatever prayer or plea Your people Israel make— each knowing his own afflictions and spreading out his hands toward this temple— ³⁰be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart — for You alone know the hearts of men —
