1 Kings 8:33-35

Expanded Bible

³³ “When your people, the Israelites, sin against you, their enemies will defeat them. But if they ·come back [turn] to you and ·praise you [^Lconfess your name] and pray and ·plead [make supplication] to you in this ·Temple [^Lhouse], ³⁴ then hear them in heaven. Forgive the ·sins [or sin] of your people Israel, and bring them back to the land you gave to their ancestors.

³⁵ “When they sin against you, ·you will stop the rain from falling on their land [^Lthe heavens will be shut and there will be no rain]. Then they will pray, facing this place and ·praising you [^Lconfess your name]; they will stop sinning when you ·make them suffer [afflict them].
