Contemporary English Version Anglicised

1 Kings 8:46-50 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

46. Everyone sins. But when your people sin against you, suppose you get angry enough to let their enemies drag them away to foreign countries.

47-49. Later, they may feel sorry for what they did and ask your forgiveness. Answer them when they pray towards this temple I have built for you in your chosen city, here in this land you gave their ancestors. From your home in heaven, listen to their sincere prayers and do what they ask.

50. Forgive your people no matter how much they have sinned against you. Make the enemies who defeated them be kind to them.
