2 Chronicles 7:14

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Ver. 14. And turn from their wicked ways. ] This is optima et aptissima poenitentia, saith Luther, the best repentance.

And will heal their land. ] Of the wounds and bloody welts that my judgments have left upon it.
