2 Chronicles 7:13
The LORD’s Response to Solomon
12the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.13If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,14and 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, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
