Turning » The reward for turning from evil
And LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Then the word of LORD came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? says LORD. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel. At that instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it, read more.
if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from their evil, I will relent of the evil that I thought to do to them.
