## 2 Chronicles 6:22-23 in Context (Verses 19–26 KJV)
 
 [19 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/19) Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
 
 [20 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/20) That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/21) Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, *even* from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.**
 
 [22 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/22) ¶ If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/23) Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/24) ¶ And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;**
 
 [25 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/25) Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/26) ¶ When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; *yet* if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;*
