1 Kings 8:45-47
New English Translation
45 then listen from heaven to their prayers for help[a] and vindicate them.[b]
46 “The time will come when your people[c] will sin against you (for there is no one who is sinless!) and you will be angry with them and deliver them over to their enemies, who will take them as prisoners to their own land,[d] whether far away or close by. 47 When your people[e] come to their senses[f] in the land where they are held prisoner, they will repent and beg for your mercy in the land of their imprisonment, admitting, ‘We have sinned and gone astray;[g] we have done evil.’
