1 Kings 8:35
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:
KJV
Si clausum fuerit cælum, et non pluerit propter peccata eorum, et orantes in loco isto, pœnitentiam egerint nomini tuo, et a peccatis suis conversi fuerint propter afflictionem suam :
Vulgate
ἐν τῷ συσχεθῆναι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ μὴ γενέσθαι ὑετὸν ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι, καὶ προσεύξονται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἐξομολογήσονται τῷ ὀνόματί σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν ἀποστρέψουσιν ὅταν ταπεινώσῃς αὐτούς·
LXX
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them:
ASV
בְּ/הֵעָצֵ֥ר שָׁמַ֛יִם וְ/לֹא יִהְיֶ֥ה מָטָ֖ר כִּ֣י יֶחֶטְאוּ לָ֑/ךְ וְ/הִֽתְפַּֽלְל֞וּ אֶל הַ/מָּק֤וֹם הַ/זֶּה֙ וְ/הוֹד֣וּ אֶת שְׁמֶ֔/ךָ וּ/מֵ/חַטָּאתָ֥/ם יְשׁוּב֖וּ/ן כִּ֥י תַעֲנֵֽ/ם
