20:9‘If disaster comes on us in the form of military attack,17 judgment, plague, or famine, we will stand in front of this temple before you, for you are present in this temple.18 We will cry out to you for help in our distress, so that you will19 hear and deliver us.’

Footnotes

  1. 17 Heb “sword.”
  2. 18 Heb “for your name is in this house.” The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name. In this case the temple is referred to as a “house” where the Lord himself can reside.
  3. 19 Or “so that you may.”
