1 Kings 8:45-51 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

45. And you will hear in heaven their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish judgment for them.

46. But if they sin against you, for there is no man who does not sin, and you, being angry, deliver them to their enemies, and they will have been led away as captives to the land of their enemies, whether far or near,

47. and if they do penance in their heart, in the place of captivity, and having been converted, make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, 'We have sinned; we acted unjustly; we committed impiety,'

48. and they return to you with all their heart and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they have been led away as captives, and if they pray to you in the direction of their land, which you gave to their fathers, and of the city, which you have chosen, and of the temple, which I have built to your name:

49. you will hear in heaven, in the firmament of your throne, their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish their judgment.

50. And you will forgive your people, who have sinned against you, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against you. And you will grant to them mercy in the sight of those who have made them captives, so that they may take pity on them.

51. For they are your people and your inheritance, whom you have led away from the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.
