28. If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, blight, mildew, locusts, or caterpillars, if their enemies besiege them in any of their cities, whatever plague or sickness there may be,
29. Then whatever prayer or supplication any man or all of Your people Israel shall make–each knowing his own affliction and his own sorrow and stretching out his hands toward this house–
30. Then hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart You know; for You, You only, know men's hearts,
31. That they may fear You and walk in Your ways as long as they live in the land which You gave to our fathers.
32. Also concerning the stranger who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a far country for Your great name's sake and Your mighty power and Your outstretched arm–if he comes and prays toward this house,
33. Hear from heaven, from Your dwelling place, and do all for which the stranger calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You [reverently and worshipfully], as do Your people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by Your Name.
34. If Your people go out to war against their enemies by the way that You send them, and they pray to You facing this city [Jerusalem] which You have chosen and the house which I have built for Your Name,
35. Then hear from heaven their prayer and supplication, and maintain their cause.
36. If they sin against You–for there is no man who does not sin–and You are angry with them and give them to enemies who take them captive to a land far or near;
37. Yet if they repent in the land to which they have been carried captive, and turn and pray there, saying, We have sinned, we have done wrong, and have dealt wickedly;
38. If they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of their captivity, and pray facing their land which You gave to their fathers and toward the city which You have chosen and the house which I have built for Your Name;
39. Then hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and supplications, and maintain their cause; and forgive Your people, who have sinned against You.
40. Now, O my God, I beseech You, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer offered in this temple.
