²⁷ then hear from heaven and forgive^(A) the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave your people for an inheritance.

³⁰ then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive,^(A) and deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know the human heart),^(B)

³⁷ and if they have a change of heart^(A) in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captivity and say, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong and acted wickedly’; ³⁸ and if they turn back to you with all their heart and soul in the land of their captivity where they were taken, and pray toward the land you gave their ancestors, toward the city you have chosen and toward the temple I have built for your Name; ³⁹ then from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their pleas, and uphold their cause. And forgive^(B) your people, who have sinned against you.
