When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send plague among my people,
In context
11So Solomon completed the house of Yahweh and the royal palace, and everything he had set his heart on doing in the house of Yahweh and in his own house he brought off successfully. 12Then Yahweh appeared to Solomon at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice. 13When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send plague among my people, 14and if my people, over whom my name is proclaimed, bow low, and pray, and look for my face, and leave their evil roads behind, I will listen from the heavens, pardon their sin and restore their land to health. 15From now on my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.
