"When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against Thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess Thy name, and turn from their sin, when Thou dost afflict them; then hear Thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, when Thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon Thy land, which Thou hast given unto Thy people for an inheritance.

Når himmelen lukkes, så regnen udebliver, fordi de synder imod dig, og de så beder, vendte mod dette sted, og bekender dit navn og omvender sig fra deres synd, fordi du revser dem, så høre du det i Himmelen og tilgive din tjeners og dit folk Israels synd, ja, du vise dem den gode vej, de skal vandre, og lade det regne i dit land, som du gav dit folk i eje.
