2 Chronicles 7:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² Then the Lord appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself to be a ·Temple [^Lhouse] ·for [of] sacrifices.

¹³ “·I may [^LIf I…] ·stop the sky [shut the heavens] from sending rain. ·I may [^L…or if I…] command the locusts to ·destroy [devour] the land. ·I may [^L…or if I…] send ·sicknesses [plague; pestilence] to my people. ¹⁴ Then if my people, who ·are called by my name [belong to me], will humble themselves, if they will pray and seek ·me [^Lmy face] and stop their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and I will ·heal [restore] their land.
