1 Kings 8:33-35

New Century Version

³³ “When your people, the Israelites, sin against you, their enemies will defeat them. But if they come back to you and praise you and pray to you in this Temple, ³⁴ then hear them in heaven. Forgive the sins 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. Then they will pray, facing this place and praising you; they will stop sinning when you make them suffer.
