³⁷ When there is famine on the earth,
when there is pestilence,
when there is blight, mildew, locust, or grasshopper,^(A)
when their enemy besieges them
in the region of their fortified cities,^[a]
when there is any plague or illness,
³⁸ whatever prayer or petition
anyone from Your people Israel might have—
each man knowing his own afflictions^[b](B)
and spreading out his hands toward this temple^(C)—
³⁹ may You hear in heaven, Your dwelling place,
and may You forgive, act, and repay the man,
according to all his ways, since You know his heart,
for You alone know every human heart,^(D)
