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

37 When there shall be famine in the land, when there shall be pestilence, when there shall be blasting, mildew, grasshopper or caterpillar, when their enemies shall besiege them in the [f]cities of their land, or any plague, or any sickness,

39 Hear thou then in heaven, in thy dwelling place, and be merciful, and do, and give every man according to all his ways, as thou knowest his heart, (for thou only knowest the hearts of all the children of men)
40 That they may fear thee as long as they live in the land, which thou gavest unto our fathers.
