2 Chronicles 6:29-31
New English Translation

29 When all your people Israel pray and ask for help,[a] as they acknowledge their intense pain[b] and spread out their hands toward this temple, 30 then listen from your heavenly dwelling place, forgive their sin,[c] and act favorably toward each one based on your evaluation of their motives.[d] (Indeed you are the only one who can correctly evaluate the motives of all people.)[e] 31 Then they will honor[f] you by obeying you[g] throughout their lifetimes as[h] they live on the land you gave to our ancestors.
