Your guilty acts have diverted these things from you.
Your sins have withheld My bounty from you,

When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy,
because they have sinned against You,
and they return to You and praise Your name,
and they pray and plead with You
for mercy in this temple,

When the skies are shut and there is no rain,
because they have sinned against You,
and they pray toward this place
and praise Your name,
and they turn from their sins
because You are afflicting them,

and fruitful land into salty wasteland,
because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.

Then the earth will become a wasteland
because of its inhabitants
and as a result of their actions.
