13. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 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. 15. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer [that is made] in this place.
2 Chronicles 7:13-15 — KJV
Shut up heaven. Compare 2 Chron. 6:26; Deut. 11:17. God supplies the earth with rain (Matt. 5:45). At various times, when men have turned away from God to serve false gods, He has removed His blessing and drought and famine have been the result (1 Kings 17:1; 2 Kings 8:1).
Locusts. Compare 2 Chron. 6:28; Ex. 10:14, 15; Joel 1:4.
Send pestilence. Compare 2 Chron. 6:28; Deut. 28:20–22; 1 Chron. 21:14; Jer. 24:10. Satan brings sickness and pain upon men when God permits (Job 2:4–7).
