32And also concerning the foreigner, who is not from your people Israel, but comes from a distant land because of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,

33then hear from heaven, from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as your people Israel do, and may know that your name is called upon this house that I have built.
