42 (For they shall hear of your great name, and of your strong hand, and of your outstretched arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
43 Hear in heaven your dwelling place, and act according to all that the stranger calls to you for: that all people of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have built, is called by your name.
44 If your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever you shall send them, and shall pray to the LORD toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house that I have built for your name:
45 Then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
46 If they sin against you, (for there is no man that does not sin,) and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives to the land of the enemy, far or near;
47 Yet if they shall come to themselves in the land where they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
48 And so return to you with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:
49 Then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
50 And forgive your people that have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you, and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
