6:29. Then if any of thy people Israel, knowing his own scourge and
infirmity shall pray, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,
6:30. Hear thou from heaven, from thy high dwelling place, and forgive,
and render to every one according to his ways, which thou knowest him to
have in his heart: for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of
men:
6:31. That they may fear thee, and walk in thy ways all the days that
they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our
fathers.
6:32. If the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, come from a
far country, for the sake of thy great name, and thy strong hand, and
thy stretched out arm, and adore in this place:
6:33. Hear thou from heaven thy firm dwelling place, and do all that
which that stranger shall call upon thee for: that all the people of the
earth may know thy name, and may fear thee, as thy people Israel, and
may know, that thy name is invoked upon this house, which I have built.
6:34. If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by the way that
thou shalt send them, and adore thee towards the way of this city, which
thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name:
6:35. Then hear thou from heaven their prayers, and their supplications,
and revenge them.
6:36. And if they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth
not) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them up to their enemies,
and they lead them away captive to a land either afar off, or near at
hand,
6:37. And if they be converted in their heart in the land to which they
were led captive, and do penance, and pray to thee in the land of their
captivity saying: We have sinned, we have done wickedly, we have dealt
unjustly:
6:38. And return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul,
in the land of their captivity, to which they were led away, and adore
thee towards the way of their own land which thou gavest their fathers,
and of the city, which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have
built to thy name:
6:39. Then hear thou from heaven, that is, from thy firm dwelling place,
their prayers, and do judgment, and forgive thy people, although they
have sinned:
6:40. For thou art my God: let thy eyes, I beseech thee, be open, and
let thy ears be attentive to the prayer, that is made in this place.
6:41. Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou and
the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, put on salvation,
and thy saints rejoice in good things.
6:42. O Lord God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the
mercies of David thy servant.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 7
Fire from heaven consumeth the sacrifices. The solemnity of the
dedication of the temple. God signifieth his having heard Solomon's
prayer: yet so if he continue to serve him.
7:1. And when Solomon had made an end of his prayer, fire came down from
heaven, and consumed the holocausts and the victims: and the majesty of
the Lord filled the house.
7:2. Neither could the priests enter into the temple of the Lord,
because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.
7:3. Moreover all the children of Israel saw the fire coming down, and
the glory of the Lord upon the house: and falling down with their faces
to the ground, upon the stone pavement, they adored and praised the
Lord: because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever.
7:4. And the king and all the people sacrificed victims before the Lord.
7:5. And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen,
and one hundred and twenty thousand rams: and the king and all the
people dedicated the house of God.
