Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

Verse 32 is found in chapter 8 of 1 Kings. The prayer addresses specific cases involving oaths, sin, military defeat, and drought. Solomon asks God to judge justly and hear from heaven. The variety of situations shows that the temple is to function as a place for seeking God in ordinary and extraordinary circumstances. The true source of the response is not the building, but the God who hears from heaven.

so wollest du hören im Himmel und recht schaffen deinen Knechten, den Gottlosen zu verdammen und seinen Wandel auf seinen Kopf zu bringen und den Gerechten gerecht zu sprechen, ihm zu geben nach seiner Gerechtigkeit.
Tú oirás desde el cielo, y obrarás, y juzgarás a tus siervos, condenando al impío, tornando su proceder sobre su cabeza, y justificando al justo para darle conforme a su justicia.
escucha tú desde los cielos, actúa y juzga a tus servidores. Condena al culpable haciendo recaer su conducta sobre su propia cabeza, y declara justo al inocente, dándole conforme a su justicia.
coute-le des cieux, agis, et juge tes serviteurs; condamne le coupable, et fais retomber sa conduite sur sa tête; rends justice à l'innocent, et traite-le selon son innocence!
ed opera, e giudica i tuoi servitori, condannando il colpevole, per fargli ritornare in su la testa ciò che egli avrà fatto; ed assolvendo il giusto, per rendergli secondo la sua giustizia.
Ouve tu, então, nos céus e age e julga a teus servos, condenando ao injusto, fazendo recair o seu proceder sobre a sua cabeça, e justificando ao justo, rendendo-lhe segundo a sua justiça.
求你在天上垂聽、處理,向你的僕人施行審判,定惡人有罪,照他所行的報應在他頭上;定義人為義,照他的義賞賜他。
