2 Chronicles 6:28-30

Expanded Bible

²⁸ “·At times the land will get so dry that no food will grow [^LIf there is famine in the land…], or ·a great sickness will spread among the people [a plague; pestilence…]. ·Sometimes [^L…or if…] the crops will be destroyed by blight, mildew, locusts, or grasshoppers. ·Your [^L…or if…] people will be attacked in their cities by their enemies, or will become sick. ²⁹ ·When any of these things [—whatever plague/disaster or disease] happens, ·the [^L…and if the…] people will ·become truly sorry [pray about their troubles/affliction and pain/sorrows…]. ·If [^L…and] your people spread their hands in prayer toward this ·Temple [^Lhouse], ³⁰ then hear their prayers from your home in heaven. Forgive and ·treat [deal with] each person as he ·should be treated [deserves] because you know what is in a person’s heart. Only you know ·what is in people’s hearts [the human heart].
