\v 25 So now, Yahweh, the God whom we Israelites worship, I am requesting that you do the other things that you promised my father that you would do. You told him that there would always be some of his descendants who would be kings in Israel if they would conduct their lives as he did.

\pi
\v 27 But God, will you really live on the earth among people? There is not enough space in heaven for you to have enough space to live there. So this temple that I have commanded my workers to build is certainly too small for you to live in.
\v 28 But Yahweh, my God, please listen to me while I am praying to you this day.
\s5
\v 29 I pray that you would protect this temple night and day. This is the place about which you have said, 'I will always be there.' I request that you listen to me whenever I turn my face toward this temple and pray.

\pi

\pi
\v 33 Or suppose that your Israelite people are defeated by their enemies in a battle because they have sinned against you. Suppose also that they are forced to go to some distant country.

And suppose that they plead that you will forgive them.
\v 34 In that case, listen to them from heaven, forgive your Israelite people for the sins that they have committed, and bring them back to this land that you gave to our ancestors.

\v 36 In that case, listen to them in heaven and forgive your Israelite people for the sins that they have committed. Teach them the right way to conduct their lives and then send rain on this land that you have given to your people to belong to them permanently.

\v 38 And suppose that your Israelite people earnestly plead with you because they know in their inner beings that they are suffering because they have sinned. Suppose that they stretch out their arms toward this temple and pray.
\s5
\v 39 In that case, listen to them from your home in heaven and forgive them and help them. You are the only one who knows what people are thinking, so act toward each person as he needs

\v 43 In that case, in your home in heaven listen to their prayer, and do for them what they request you to do. Do that so that all the peoples in the world will know about you and revere you, as we your Israelite people do. Then they will know that this temple that I have caused to be built to honor you belongs to you and is where you should be worshiped.
\pi

\v 46 It is true that everyone sins. So suppose that your people sin against you and that you become angry with them. You might allow their enemies to defeat them, capture them, and take them away to their own countries, even to countries that are far away.
\v 47 And suppose that, while your people are in those countries to which they had to go, they sincerely repent and plead with you there, saying, 'We have sinned and have done things that are very wicked.'
