2 Chronicles 7:16 In-Context

14 [then if] my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and will pray and will seek my face and will turn from their evil ways, then I myself shall hear from the heavens and will forgive their sins and heal their land.

15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place.

16 And now I have chosen and consecrated this house for my name to be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there {for all time}.

17 Now [as for] you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked and do according to all that I have commanded you and will keep my ordinances and judgments,

18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom as I promised to David your father, saying, 'A man shall not be cut off for you [from] ruling over Israel.'
