2 Chronicles 6:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ then ·listen [hear] from heaven. Forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them back to the land you gave to them and their ·ancestors [fathers].

²⁶ “When they sin against you, you will ·stop the rain from falling on their land [shut up the heavens/sky and stop the rain]. Then they will pray, facing this place and ·praising you [acknowledge/confess your name]; they will stop sinning ·when [because] you ·make them suffer [punish/afflict them]. ²⁷ When this happens, hear their prayer in heaven, and forgive the sins of your servants, the Israelites. Teach them ·to do what is right [the right way to live; ^Lthe good way in which they should walk]. Then please send rain to ·this [^Lyour] land you have given ·particularly to them [^Lto your people as an inheritance/special possession].
