8:34. Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people
Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their
fathers.
8:35. If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of
their sins, and they, praying in this place, shall do penance to thy
name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their
afflictions:
8:36. Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy
servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein
they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to
thy people in possession.
8:37. If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or
blasting, or locust, or mildew; if their enemy afflict them, besieging
the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity,
8:38. Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy
people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and
shall spread forth his hands in this house;
8:39. Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and
forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as
thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the
children of men)
8:40. That they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the face
of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.
8:41. Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when
he shall come out of a far conntry for thy name's sake, (for they shall
hear every where of thy great name, and thy mighty hand,
8:42. And thy stretched out arm) so when he shall come, and shall pray
in this place,
8:43. Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place,
and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee:
that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy
people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house,
which I have built.
8:44. If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way
soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of
the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have
built to thy name:
8:45. And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their
supplications, and do judgment for them.
8:46. But if they sin against thee, (for there is no man who sinneth
not) and thou being angry, deliver them up to their enemies, so that
they be led away captives into the land of their enemies, far or near;
8:47. Then if they do penance in their heart, in the place of captivity,
and being converted, make supplication to thee in their captivity,
saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed
wickedness:
8:48. And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in
the land of their enemies, to which they have been led captives: and
pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their
fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which
I have built to thy name:
8:49. Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their
prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:
8:50. And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all
their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give
them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have
compassion on them.
8:51. For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast
brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.
8:52. That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and
of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall
call upon thee.
