35. Listen to their prayers from your home in heaven, and help them.
36. “Your people will sin against you. I know this because everyone sins. And you will be angry with your people. You will let their enemies defeat them. Their enemies will make them prisoners and carry them to some faraway land.
37. In that faraway land, your people will think about what happened. They will be sorry for their sins, and they will pray to you. They will say, ‘We have sinned and done wrong.’
38. They will be in that faraway land of their enemies, but they will turn back to you. They will feel sorry for their sins with their whole heart and soul. They will turn toward the land you gave their ancestors. They will look toward the city you chose and toward the Temple I built, and they will pray to you.
39. Please listen from your home in heaven. Accept their prayers when they beg for help, and help them. Forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40. Now, my God, I ask you, open your eyes and your ears. Listen and pay attention to the prayers we are praying in this place.
41. “Now, Lord God, get up and come to your special place, the Box of the Agreement that shows your strength. Lord God, may your priests be dressed with salvation, and may your true followers be happy about these good things.
