2 Chronicles 7:12-14

The Voice

True God: As promised, I have chosen this temple as the place where My name will dwell and where I will receive sacrifices and prayer. I heard your prayer, and I will honor it.

¹³ If I close up the heavens and their rain and send any of the disasters you described—drought, locusts, pestilence—to ravish the land and people; ¹⁴ and My people (who are known by My name) humbly pray, follow My commandments, and abandon any actions or thoughts that might lead to further sinning, then I shall hear their prayers from My house in heaven, I shall forgive their sins, and I shall save their land from the disasters.
