Expanded Bible

³⁴ then hear them in heaven. Forgive the ·sins [or sin] of your people Israel, and bring them back to the land you gave to their ancestors.

³⁵ “When they sin against you, ·you will stop the rain from falling on their land [^Lthe heavens will be shut and there will be no rain]. Then they will pray, facing this place and ·praising you [^Lconfess your name]; they will stop sinning when you ·make them suffer [afflict them]. ³⁶ ·When this happens [Then], please hear their prayer in heaven, and forgive the ·sins [or sin] of your servants, ·the Israelites [^Lyour people Israel]. Teach them ·to do what is right [^Lthe good way they should walk]. Then please send rain to this land you have given ·particularly to them [^Lyour people for an inheritence].
