1 Kings 8:47-49

Expanded Bible

⁴⁷ But if they ·become sorry for their sins [or come to their senses; or have a change of heart; ^Lreturn to their heart] and ·are sorry [repent] and ·pray [plead; make supplications] to you in the land ·where they are held as prisoners [of their captors], saying, ‘We have sinned; we have ·done wrong [committed iniquity] and acted wickedly.’ ⁴⁸ If they ·truly turn back to you [^Lrepent with all their heart and all their soul] in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive and pray to you, ·facing this [toward their] land you gave their ancestors, this city you have chosen, and the ·Temple [^Lhouse] I have built for ·you [^Lyour name], ⁴⁹ then hear their prayers and their ·requests [pleas; supplications] from your ·home [dwelling place] in heaven, and ·do what is right [act with justice/judgment; or uphold/maintain their cause].
