2 Chronicles 6:21-23
The Message
2 Chronicles 6:21-23
The Message
18-21 Can it be that God will actually move into our neighborhood? Why, the cosmos itself isn’t large enough to give you breathing room, let alone this Temple I’ve built. Even so, I’m bold to ask: Pay attention to these my prayers, both intercessory and personal, O God, my God. Listen to my prayers, energetic and devout, that I’m setting before you right now. Keep your eyes open to this Temple day and night, this place you promised to dignify with your Name. And listen to the prayers that I pray in this place. And listen to your people Israel when they pray at this place.
Listen from your home in heaven
and when you hear, forgive.
22 When someone hurts a neighbor and promises to make things right, and then comes and repeats the promise before your Altar in this Temple,
23 Listen from heaven and act;
judge your servants, making the offender pay for the offense
And set the offended free,
dismissing all charges.
2 Chronicles 6:21-23
New International Version
2 Chronicles 6:21-23
New International Version
21 Hear the supplications of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.(A)
22 “When anyone wrongs their neighbor and is required to take an oath(B) and they come and swear the oath before your altar in this temple, 23 then hear from heaven and act. Judge between your servants, condemning(C) the guilty and bringing down on their heads what they have done, and vindicating the innocent by treating them in accordance with their innocence.
