13. When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people,

14. humiliatus autem populus meus, super quos invocatum est nomen meum, deprecatus me fuerit et exquisierit faciem meam et egerit paenitentiam a viis suis pessimis, ego exaudiam de caelo et propitius ero peccatis eorum et sanabo terram eorum.

17. And as for you, if you walk before me, as David your father walked, doing according to all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my ordinances,

18. stabiliam thronum regni tui, sicut pollicitus sum David patri tuo dicens: Non auferetur de stirpe tua vir, qui sit princeps in Israel.

18. then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, `There shall not fail you a man to rule Israel.'

19. "But if you turn aside and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,

22. Then they will say, `Because they forsook the LORD the God of their fathers who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore he has brought all this evil upon them'"
