¹⁷ Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children.

¹⁶ So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

⁶ Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.

²⁵ Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.

²² And all things, whatever you make request for in prayer, having faith, you will get.

⁷ Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

¹¹ The Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, says, Will you put a question to me about the things which are to come, or will you give me orders about my sons, and the work of my hands?

²⁹ The Lord is far from sinners, but his ear is open to the prayer of the upright.

⁸ The offering of the evil-doer is disgusting to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright man is his delight.

⁹ And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.

¹⁰ And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.

¹⁰ So that they may make offerings of a sweet smell to the God of heaven, with prayers for the life of the king and of his sons.

¹¹ So they sent and got together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its place, so that it may not be the cause of death to us and to our people: for there was a great fear of death through all the town; the hand of God was very hard on them there.

¹² And those men who were not overtaken by death were cruelly diseased: and the cry of the town went up to heaven.

³¹ Now the Lord, seeing that Leah was not loved, gave her a child; while Rachel had no children.

⁷ So now, give the man back his wife, for he is a prophet, and let him say a prayer for you, so your life may be safe: but if you do not give her back, be certain that death will come to you and all your house.

²⁴ And all the prophets from Samuel and those who came after, every one of them, gave word of these days.
