If the sky closes up and there's no rain because your people have turned away from you, but then they pray toward this place, admit what they've done wrong, and come back to you, 1 Kings 8:35 - Modern Text Bible

(Solomon is asking God to listen when the people realize their mistakes, turn back, and pray for help, especially when they're suffering because of their own choices.)
