30 Hear thou therefore the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel which pray in this place, and hear thou [a]in the place of thine habitation, even in heaven, and when thou hearest, have mercy.

31 ¶ When a man shall trespass against his neighbor, and [b]he lay upon him an oath to cause him to swear, and [c]the swearer shall come before thine altar into this house,

32 Then hear thou in heaven, and [d]do and judge thy servants, that thou condemn the wicked to bring his way upon his head, and justify the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
