2 Chronicles 714

2 Chronicles 7:14 is a verse from the Hebrew Bible, specifically from the Book of Chronicles, which is part of the Ketuvim ("Writings") section of the Tanakh. The verse reads: "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." In Hebrew, this verse is written as: "אִם-יִשְׁתַּחֲוִי עַמִּי אֲשֶׁר-נִקְרָא שְׁמִי עָלֵיהֶם וְהִתְעַטְּפוּ וְבִקְּשׁוּ פָנָי וְשָׁבוּ מִדַּרְכֵיהֶם הָרָעִים וְאֶשְׁמַע מִן-הַשָּׁמַיִם וְסָלַחְתִּי לְחַטָּאתָם וְרָפָאתִי אֶת-אַרְצָם." The verse is often quoted in Christian and Jewish contexts as a call to repentance and a promise of divine forgiveness and restoration. It is part of a larger passage in which God appears to Solomon in a dream, affirming His covenant with Israel and outlining the conditions for blessing and judgment. The verse has been translated into numerous languages, including Spanish: "Si se humillare mi pueblo sobre el cual mi nombre es invocado, y oraren, y buscaren mi rostro, y se convirtieren de sus malos caminos; entonces yo oiré desde los cielos, y perdonaré su pecado, y sanaré su tierra," and German: "Wenn sich mein Volk, über dem mein Name ausgerufen ist, demütigt, und betet und mein Angesicht sucht und sich von ihren bösen Wegen bekehrt, so will ich vom Himmel her hören und ihre Sünde vergeben und ihr Land heilen." The context of this verse emphasizes the importance of humility, prayer, and repentance as prerequisites for divine intervention and healing.
