Second Chronicles 7:14

but if [then] my people, who are named after my name (over whom my name has been proclaimed)
humble themselves (bow their knees),
and pray (implore; intercede) [stand in the gap between God and the people]
and seek my face (appeal/ask for my presence)
and turn from their evil ways,
then I will
hear it [listen to their prayer] from heaven [which was closed, see verse 13],
and forgive their sin,
and heal (cure, heal; Hebr. rafa – mend/sew together) their land.
[The message is directed to God's own people. Those who belong to him must first bow down before him. The Hebrew form nifal gives the passive meaning that they should allow themselves to be humbled. They also need to pray (the verb is in the form hitpael – dual, i.e., something that requires two to be done). Then comes the exhortation to seek God's face – here the form piel is used, which emphasizes and intensifies the seeking. Finally, they are required to repent and not continue to sin (the verb is in the usual form qal). If they do these four things, God promises to listen and act out of his grace to bring reconciliation and healing to their land.]

καὶ ἐὰν ἐντραπῇ ὁ λαός μου ἐφ᾽ οὓς τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπικέκληται ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς καὶ προσεύξωνται καὶ ζητήσωσιν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου καὶ ἀποστρέψωσιν ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτῶν τῶν πονηρῶν καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσακούσομαι ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἵλεως ἔσομαι ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν καὶ ἰάσομαι τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν
