Now when SolomonH8010 had made an endH3615 of prayingH6419, the fireH784 came downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrificesH2077; and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004.
And the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not enterH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, because the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004.
And when all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 how the fireH784 came downH3381, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 upon the houseH1004, they bowedH3766 themselves with their facesH639 to the groundH776 upon the pavementH7531, and worshippedH7812, and praisedH3034 the LORDH3068, saying, For he is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Then the kingH4428 and all the peopleH5971 offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 of twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 oxenH1241, and an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 sheepH6629: so the kingH4428 and all the peopleH5971 dedicatedH2596 the houseH1004 of GodH430.
And the priestsH3548 waitedH5975 on their officesH4931: the LevitesH3881 also with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892 of the LORDH3068, which DavidH1732 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 to praiseH3034 the LORDH3068, because his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769, when DavidH1732 praisedH1984 by their ministryH3027; and the priestsH3548 sounded trumpetsH2690+H2690 before them, and all IsraelH3478 stoodH5975. {by their…: Heb. by their hand}
Moreover SolomonH8010 hallowedH6942 the middleH8432 of the courtH2691 that was beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: for there he offeredH6213 burnt offeringsH5930, and the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002, because the brasenH5178 altarH4196 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 was not ableH3201 to receiveH3557 the burnt offeringsH5930, and the meat offeringsH4503, and the fatH2459.
Also at the same timeH6256 SolomonH8010 keptH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and all IsraelH3478 with him, a veryH3966 greatH1419 congregationH6951, from the entering inH935 of HamathH2574 unto the riverH5158 of EgyptH4714.
And in the eighthH8066 dayH3117 they madeH6213 a solemn assemblyH6116: for they keptH6213 the dedicationH2598 of the altarH4196 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117. {a solemn…: Heb. a restraint}
And on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 awayH7971 into their tentsH168, gladH8056 and merryH2896 in heartH3820 for the goodnessH2896 that the LORDH3068 had shewedH6213 unto DavidH1732, and to SolomonH8010, and to IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971.
Thus SolomonH8010 finishedH3615 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004: and all that cameH935 into Solomon'sH8010 heartH3820 to makeH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in his own houseH1004, he prosperously effectedH6743.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 by nightH3915, and saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605, and have chosenH977 this placeH4725 to myself for an houseH1004 of sacrificeH2077.
IfH2005 I shut upH6113 heavenH8064 that there be no rainH4306, or if I commandH6680 the locustsH2284 to devourH398 the landH776, or if I sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 among my peopleH5971;
If my peopleH5971, which are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, shall humbleH3665 themselves, and prayH6419, and seekH1245 my faceH6440, and turnH7725 from their wickedH7451 waysH1870; then will I hearH8085 from heavenH8064, and will forgiveH5545 their sinH2403, and will healH7495 their landH776. {which…: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
Now mine eyesH5869 shall be openH6605, and mine earsH241 attentH7183 unto the prayerH8605 that is made in this placeH4725. {unto…: Heb. to the prayer of this place}
For now have I chosenH977 and sanctifiedH6942 this houseH1004, that my nameH8034 may be there forH5704 everH5769: and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH3117.
And as for thee, if thou wilt walkH3212 beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, and shalt observeH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941;
Then will I stablishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4438, according as I have covenantedH3772 with DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478. {There…: Heb. There shall not be cut off to thee}
But if ye turn awayH7725, and forsakeH5800 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, and shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them;
Then will I pluck them up by the rootsH5428 out of my landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have sanctifiedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7993 of my sightH6440, and will makeH5414 it to be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all nationsH5971.
And this houseH1004, which is highH5945, shall be an astonishmentH8074 to every one that passethH5674 by it; so that he shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and unto this houseH1004?
And it shall be answeredH559, Because they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laid holdH2388 on otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath he broughtH935 all this evilH7451 upon them.

We are thine: thou neverH5769 barest ruleH4910 over them; they were not calledH7121 by thy nameH8034. {they…: Heb. thy name was not called upon them}
Yet if they bethinkH7725+H3824 themselves in the landH776 whither they are carried captiveH7617, and turnH7725 and prayH2603 unto thee in the landH776 of their captivityH7628, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, we have done amissH5753, and have dealt wickedlyH7561; {bethink…: Heb. bring back to their heart}
If they returnH7725 to thee with all their heartH3820 and with all their soulH5315 in the landH776 of their captivityH7628, whither they have carried them captivesH7617, and prayH6419 towardH1870 their landH776, which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1, and toward the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and toward the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:
Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, even from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, their prayerH8605 and their supplicationsH8467, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941, and forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 which have sinnedH2398 against thee. {cause: or, right}
AndG1161 the LordG2962 said untoG4314 himG846, AriseG450, and goG4198 intoG1909 the streetG4505 whichG3588 is calledG2564 StraightG2117, andG2532 enquireG2212 inG1722 the houseG3614 of JudasG2455 for one calledG3686 SaulG4569, of TarsusG5018: forG1063, beholdG2400, he prayethG4336,
I have not spokenH1696 in secretH5643, in a darkH2822 placeH4725 of the earthH776: I saidH559 not unto the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, SeekH1245 ye me in vainH8414: I the LORDH3068 speakH1696 righteousnessH6664, I declareH5046 things that are rightH4339.
He that coverethH3680 his sinsH6588 shall not prosperH6743: but whoso confessethH3034 and forsakethH5800 them shall have mercyH7355.
Then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy servantsH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when thou hast taughtH3384 them the goodH2896 wayH1870, wherein they should walkH3212; and sendH5414 rainH4306 upon thy landH776, which thou hast givenH5414 unto thy peopleH5971 for an inheritanceH5159.
Thou hast made the earthH776 to trembleH7493; thou hast brokenH6480 it: healH7495 the breachesH7667 thereof; for it shakethH4131.
And when he was in afflictionH6887, he besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 himself greatlyH3966 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of his fathersH1,
Then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and forgiveH5545, and renderH5414 unto every manH376 according unto all his waysH1870, whose heartH3824 thou knowestH3045; (for thou only knowestH3045 the heartsH3824 of the childrenH1121 of menH120:)
Is there no balmH6875 in GileadH1568; is there no physicianH7495 there? why thenH3588 is not the healthH724 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 recoveredH5927? {recovered: Heb. gone up?}
And prayedH6419 unto him: and he was intreatedH6279 of him, and heardH8085 his supplicationH8467, and brought him againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 into his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 he was GodH430.
Let the wickedH7563 forsakeH5800 his wayH1870, and the unrighteousH205 manH376 his thoughtsH4284: and let him returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and he will have mercyH7355 upon him; and to our GodH430, for he will abundantlyH7235 pardonH5545. {the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon}
Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, even from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, their prayerH8605 and their supplicationsH8467, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941, and forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 which have sinnedH2398 against thee. {cause: or, right}
Behold, I will bringH5927 it healthH724 and cureH4832, and I will cureH7495 them, and will revealH1540 unto them the abundanceH6283 of peaceH7965 and truthH571.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ManassehH4519, and his prayerH8605 unto his GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of the seersH2374 that spakeH1696 to him in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, behold, they are written in the bookH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And the RedeemerH1350 shall comeH935 to ZionH6726, and unto them that turnH7725 from transgressionH6588 in JacobH3290, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
We would have healedH7495 BabylonH894, but she is not healedH7495: forsakeH5800 her, and let us goH3212 every oneH376 into his own countryH776: for her judgmentH4941 reachethH5060 unto heavenH8064, and is lifted upH5375 even to the skiesH7834.
His prayerH8605 also, and how God was intreatedH6279 of him, and all his sinH2403, and his trespassH4604, and the placesH4725 wherein he builtH1129 high placesH1116, and set upH5975 grovesH842 and graven imagesH6456, beforeH6440 he was humbledH3665: behold, they are writtenH3789 among the sayingsH1697 of the seersH2374+H2335. {the seers: or, Hosai}
Again, when the wickedH7563 man turneth awayH7725 from his wickednessH7564 that he hath committedH6213, and doethH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, he shall saveH2421 his soulH5315 aliveH2421.
Because he considerethH7200, and turneth awayH7725 from all his transgressionsH6588 that he hath committedH6213, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191.
Yet saithH559 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505. O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are not my waysH1870 equalH8505? are not your waysH1870 unequalH8505?
Therefore I will judgeH8199 you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 according to his waysH1870, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. RepentH7725, and turnH7725 yourselves from all your transgressionsH6588; so iniquityH5771 shall not be your ruinH4383. {yourselves: or, others}
If they shall confessH3034 their iniquityH5771, and the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1, with their trespassH4604 which they trespassedH4603 against me, and that also they have walkedH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
And that I also have walkedH3212 contraryH7147 unto them, and have broughtH935 them into the landH776 of their enemiesH341; if thenH176 their uncircumcisedH6189 heartsH3824 be humbledH3665, and they then acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771:
But if from thence thou shalt seekH1245 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, thou shalt findH4672 him, if thou seekH1875 him with all thy heartH3824 and with all thy soulH5315.
When thou art in tribulationH6862, and all these thingsH1697 are comeH4672 upon thee, even in the latterH319 daysH3117, if thou turnH7725 to the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and shalt be obedientH8085 unto his voiceH6963; {are…: Heb. have found thee}
And it shall come to pass, when all these thingsH1697 are comeH935 upon thee, the blessingH1293 and the curseH7045, which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 thee, and thou shalt callH7725 them to mindH3824 among all the nationsH1471, whither the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath drivenH5080 thee,
And shalt returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and shalt obeyH8085 his voiceH6963 according to all that I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, thou and thy childrenH1121, with all thine heartH3824, and with all thy soulH5315;
That then the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will turnH7725 thy captivityH7622, and have compassionH7355 upon thee, and will returnH7725 and gatherH6908 thee from all the nationsH5971, whither the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath scatteredH6327 thee.
If any of thine be driven outH5080 unto the outmostH7097 parts of heavenH8064, from thence will the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 gatherH6908 thee, and from thence will he fetchH3947 thee:
And the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will bringH935 thee into the landH776 which thy fathersH1 possessedH3423, and thou shalt possessH3423 it; and he will do thee goodH3190, and multiplyH7235 thee above thy fathersH1.
And the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will circumciseH4135 thine heartH3824, and the heartH3824 of thy seedH2233, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with all thine heartH3824, and with all thy soulH5315, that thou mayest liveH2416.
SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
