2 Chronicles 6:23-25

Common English Bible

²³ then listen from heaven, act, and decide which of your servants is right. Condemn the guilty party, repaying them for their conduct, but justify the innocent person, repaying them for their righteousness.

²⁴ If your people Israel are defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you, but then they change their hearts, give thanks to your name, and ask for mercy in your presence at this temple, ²⁵ then listen from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel. Return them to the land you gave to them and their ancestors.
