Context Reading
26When the skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have afflicted them, 27then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance. 28When famine or plague comes upon the land, or blight or mildew or locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies besiege them in their cities, whatever plague or sickness may come, 29then may whatever prayer or plea Your people Israel make — each knowing his own afflictions and spreading out his hands toward this temple — 30be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart — for You alone know the hearts of men —
