31. so that they will fear You and walk in Your ways all the days that they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.

33. then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place and do whatever the foreigner asks of You. Then all the peoples of the earth will acknowledge Your Name and revere You, as Your people Israel do, and they will know that this House which I have built is called by Your Name.
34. “When Your people go out to battle against their enemies, wherever You send them, and they pray to You toward this city that You have chosen and the House that I have built for Your Name,
35. then hear from heaven their prayer and their petition, and uphold their cause.
36. When they sin against You—for there is no man that does not sin —and You become angry with them and hand them over to the enemy who takes them captive to a land far off or near,

39. then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions and uphold their cause, and forgive Your people who have sinned against You.
40. “Now my God, I pray, let Your eyes be open, and let Your ears be attentive to the prayer made in this place.
