2 Chronicles 7:14 In-Context

12 the Lord appeared to him at night. He said to him, "I have heard your prayer, and I accept this Temple as the place where sacrifices are to be offered to me.

13 Whenever I hold back the rain or send locusts to eat up the crops or send an epidemic on my people,

14 if they pray to me and repent and turn away from the evil they have been doing, then I will hear them in heaven, forgive their sins, and make their land prosperous again.

15 I will watch over this Temple and be ready to hear all the prayers that are offered here,

16 because I have chosen it and consecrated it as the place where I will be worshiped forever. I will watch over it and protect it for all time.
