2 Chronicles 6:23 In-Context

21 And listen to your people Israel when they pray at this place. Listen from your home in heaven and when you hear, forgive.
22 When someone hurts a neighbor and promises to make things right, and then comes and repeats the promise before your Altar in this Temple,
23 Listen from heaven and act; judge your servants, making the offender pay for the offense And set the offended free, dismissing all charges.
24 When your people Israel are beaten by an enemy because they've sinned against you, but then turn to you and acknowledge your rule in prayers desperate and devout in this Temple,
25 Listen from your home in heaven; forgive the sin of your people Israel, return them to the land you gave to them and their ancestors.
