1 Kings 8:30-32

Common English Bible

³⁰ Listen to the request of your servant and your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Listen from your heavenly dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive!

³¹ If someone wrongs another and must make a solemn pledge asserting innocence before your altar in this temple,^{[a] 32} then listen from heaven, act, and decide which of your servants is right. Condemn the guilty party, repaying them for their conduct, but justify the innocent person, repaying them for their righteousness.
