cannot contain Thee; how much_less xthis xhouse which I -have_built !
19 -Have_ respect therefore to the_ prayer_of Thy servant, and to his sup- plication, O_’ Lorp my =God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which Thy servant -prayeth before Thee :
20 That Thine eyes may—be open toupon xthis xhouse day and night, toupon the place whereof Thou shast_ aaah that Thou wouldest_put Thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant prayeth toward xthis xplace.
21 -Hearken therefore unto the_sup- plications_of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israél, which they shall_make toward xthis xplace: hear Thon from Thy dwelling place, even from ¢ x=heaven; and when_Thou_hearest, «forgive.
2 Tf a iman ‘sin against his neigh- bour, and an oath +be_laid upon him to make_him_swear, and the oath come before Thine altar in xthis xhouse ;
23 Then thear Thou from heaven, and -do, and «judge Thy «servants, by requiting the -wicked, by recompensing his way upon his_own head; and by justifying the -righteous, by giving him according_to his righteousness.
24 And if Thy people Israél tbe_put_ to_the_worse before the enemy, because they thave_sinned against Thee; and sshall_return and «confess Thy -name, and «pray and -make _ supplication before Thee in xthis xhouse ;
2 Then thear Thon from the heavens, and -forgive the_sin_of Thy people Israél, and -bring_them_again unto the land which Thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
26 When the =heaven is_shut_up, and there tis no rain, because they thave_ sinned against Thee; yet if they -pray toward xthis xplace, and -confess Thy “name, and ‘turn from their sin, when Thou ‘dost_afflict them ;
27 Then thear Thou from ¢ x=heayen, and -forgive the_sin_of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israél, when Thou thast_taught them the good way, wherein they should_walk ; and ssend rain upon Thy land, which Thou hast_ given unto Thy people for an inherit-
ance.
28 If there ‘be dearth in the land, if there'be pestilence, if there ‘be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars ; if their enemies besiege them in the_ cities _ of their land; whatsoever p sore or whatsoever sickness there be :
29 Then what prayer or what sup- plication soever shall _ be _ made of any axman, or of all Thy people Israél, when every _ one shall_know his _ own sore and his_own grief, and -shall_ spread_forth his hands ‘in «this xhouse:
80 Then thear Thou from ¢x=heaven Thy dwelling ¢ place, and -forgive, and
~|*render unto ‘every _man according _
unto all his ways, whose sheart Thou knowest ; (for Thon only *knowest hearts_of the_s children_of « xmen :)
31 That they may_fear Thee, to walk in Thy ways, «!so long as thep live « in the land which Thou gavest unto our
fathers.
