"When your people, the Israelites, sin against you, their enemies will defeat them. But if they come back to you and praise you and pray to you in this Temple,
22
"If someone wrongs another person, he will be brought to the altar in this Temple. If he swears an oath that he is not guilty,
23
then hear in heaven. Judge the case, punish the guilty, but declare that the innocent person is not guilty.

"When your people, the Israelites, sin against you, their enemies will defeat them. But if they come back to you and praise you and pray to you in this Temple,
25
then listen from heaven. Forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them back to the land you gave to them and their ancestors.
26
"When they sin against you, you will stop the rain from falling on their land. Then they will pray, facing this place and praising you; they will stop sinning when you make them suffer.
