2 Chronicles 6:22-24

Christian Standard Bible

²² If a man sins against his neighbor
and is forced to take an oath^[a]
and he comes to take an oath
before your altar in this temple,
²³ may you hear in heaven and act.
May you judge your servants,
condemning the wicked man by bringing
what he has done on his own head
and providing justice for the righteous
by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
²⁴ If your people Israel are defeated before an enemy,
because they have sinned against you,
and they return to you and praise your name,
and they pray and plead for mercy
before you in this temple,
