8:33 “The time will come when 1 your people Israel are defeated by an enemy 2 because they sinned against you. If they come back to you, renew their allegiance to you, 3 and pray for your help 4 in this temple, 8:34 then listen from heaven, forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them back to the land you gave to their ancestors.
8:35 “The time will come when 5 the skies are shut up tightly and no rain falls because your people 6 sinned against you. When they direct their prayers toward this place, renew their allegiance to you, 7 and turn away from their sin because you punish 8 them, 8:36 then listen from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Certainly 9 you will then teach them the right way to live 10 and send rain on your land that you have given your people to possess. 11
