“When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned
against Thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess Thy name, and turn
from their sin, when Thou dost afflict them; then hear Thou from heaven, and
forgive the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, when Thou hast taught
them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon Thy land,
which Thou hast given unto Thy people for an inheritance.
“If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting,
or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of
their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be: then what prayer or
what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all Thy people Israel,
when everyone shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth
his hands in his house: then hear Thou from heaven Thy dwelling place, and
forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart
Thou knowest; ... that they may fear Thee, to walk in Thy ways, so long as they
live in the land which Thou gavest unto our fathers.
