When<n id="1" /> I close up the sky<n id="2" /> so that it doesn&#8217;t rain, or command locusts to devour the land&#8217;s vegetation,<n id="3" /> or send a plague among my people,

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;The time will come when the land suffers from a famine, a plague, blight, and disease, or a locust<n id="1" /> invasion, or when their enemy lays siege to the cities of the land,<n id="2" /> or when some other type of plague or epidemic occurs.

&#8216;If disaster comes on us in the form of military attack,<n id="1" /> judgment, plague, or famine, we will stand in front of this temple before you, for you are present in this temple.<n id="2" /> We will cry out to you for help in our distress, so that you will<n id="3" /> hear and deliver us.&#8217;
