14
if my people who belong to me will humbly pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
15
From now on my eyes will be open and my ears will pay attention to the prayers offered in this place,
16
because I have chosen this temple and declared it holy so that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
17
As for you, if you will walk before me just as your father David did, doing all that I have commanded you and keeping my regulations and case laws,
18
then I will establish your royal throne, just as I promised your father David: You will never fail to have a successor ruling in Israel.
