1 Kings 8:32-34

Contemporary English Version

³² Listen from heaven and decide who is right. Then punish the guilty person and let the innocent one go free.

^33 (A) Suppose your people Israel sin against you, and then an enemy defeats them. If they come to this temple and beg for forgiveness, ³⁴ listen from your home in heaven. Forgive them and bring them back to the land you gave their ancestors.
