When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:13-14) ถ้าเราปิดฟ้าสวรรค์ไม่ให้ฝนตก หรือบัญชาตั๊กแตนให้มากินแผ่นดิน หรือส่งโรคระบาดมาท่ามกลางประชากรของเรา ถ้าประชากรของเราผู้ซึ่งเขาเรียกกันโดยนามของเรานั้นจะถ่อมตัวลง อธิษฐานและแสวงหาหน้าของเรา ทั้งหันเสียจากทางชั่วของพวกเขา เราก็จะฟังจากสวรรค์ และจะให้อภัยแก่บาปของเขาและจะรักษาแผ่นดินของเขาให้หาย (2 พงศาวดาร 7:13-14) Nếu ta đóng các từng trời lại, không cho mưa xuống, khiến cào-cào phá-hại thổ-sản, và giáng ôn-dịch giữa dân-sự ta; và nhược bằng dân-sự ta, là dân gọi bằng danh ta, hạ mình xuống, cầu-nguyện, tìm-kiếm mặt ta, và trở lại, bỏ con đường tà, thì ta ở trên trời sẽ nghe, tha-thứ tội chúng nó, và cứu xứ họ khỏi tai-vạ. (II Sử-ký 7:13-14) 혹 내가 하늘을 닫고 비를 내리지 아니하거나 혹 메뚜기들에게 토산을 먹게 하거나 혹 전염병이 내 백성 가운데에 유행하게 할 때에 내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그들의 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 낮추고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 찾으면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그들의 죄를 사하고 그들의 땅을 고칠지라 (역대하 7장 13-14)
