21 Asimismo que oigas el ruego de tu siervo, y de tu pueblo Israel, cuando en este lugar hicieren oración, que tú oirás desde los cielos, desde el lugar de tu morada: que oigas y perdones.

22 Si alguno pecare contra su prójimo, y él le pidiere juramento haciéndole jurar, y el juramento viniere delante de tu altar en esta casa,

23 Tú oirás desde los cielos, y obrarás, y juzgarás á tus siervos, dando la paga al impío, tornándole su proceder sobre su cabeza, y justificando al justo en darle conforme á su justicia.

24 Si tu pueblo Israel cayere delante de los enemigos, por haber prevaricado contra ti, y se convirtieren, y confesaren tu nombre, y rogaren delante de ti en esta casa,

25 Tú oirás desde los cielos, y perdonarás el pecado de tu pueblo Israel, y los volverás á la tierra que diste á ellos y á sus padres.
