2 Chronicles 6:21-23

Contemporary English Version

²¹ I am your servant, and the people of Israel belong to you, and so whenever any of us look toward this temple and pray, answer from your home in heaven and forgive our sins.

²² Suppose someone accuses a person of a crime, and the accused has to stand in front of the altar in your temple and say, “I swear I am innocent!” ²³ Listen from heaven and decide who is right. Then punish the guilty person and let the innocent one go free.
