2 Chronicles 20:5-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Yahweh, the God of our ancestors, are You not the God who is in heaven,^(A) and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations?^(B) Power and might are in Your hand, and no one can stand against You. ⁷ Are You not our God who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel^(C) and who gave it forever to the descendants of Abraham^(D) Your friend? ⁸ They have lived in the land and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name and have said, ⁹ “If disaster comes on us—sword or judgment, pestilence or famine^(E)—we will stand before this temple and before You, for Your name is in this temple.^(F) We will cry out to You because of our distress, and You will hear and deliver.”

¹⁰ Now here are the Ammonites, Moabites, and the inhabitants of Mount Seir.^(G) You did not let Israel invade them when Israel came out of the land of Egypt, but Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.^{(H) 11} Look how they repay us by coming to drive us out of Your possession that You gave us as an inheritance. ¹² Our God, will You not judge them?^(I) For we are powerless before this vast number that comes to fight against us. We do not know what to do, but we look to You.^[a](J)
