35 When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and from their sin they turn back because You afflict them, 36 then may You hear in the heavens and forgive the sin of Your servants and of Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk, and May you send rain on Your land that You have given to Your people as an inheritance. 37 When famine is in the land, if there is pestilence, blight, mildew, locust, or if there is grasshopper; when their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities—whatever plague or whatever sickness— 38 whatever prayer, any supplication, whatever is made by any man or by all Your people Israel when knows each one the plague of his own heart and spreads out his hands toward this house, 39 then may You hear in the heavens, the fixed place of Your dwelling, and forgive and act and give to each man according to all his ways, of whom You know the heart. For You alone know the hearts of all the sons of man, 40 that they may fear You all the days that they live on the face of the land that You gave to our fathers. 1 Kings 8:35-40, Berean Literal Bible.
