James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

וּקְרָאתֶם אֹתִי וַֽהֲלַכְתֶּם וְהִתְפַּלַּלְתֶּם אֵלָי וְשָׁמַעְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
רָחוֹק יְהוָה מֵרְשָׁעִים וּתְפִלַּת צַדִּיקִים יִשְׁמָֽע׃
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἂν αἰτήσητε ἐν τῇ προσευχῇ πιστεύοντες λήψεσθε
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
עֵינֵי יְהוָה אֶל-צַדִּיקִים וְאָזְנָיו אֶל-שַׁוְעָתָֽם׃
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι ἁμαρτωλῶν ὁ θεὸς οὐκ ἀκούει ἀλλ' ἐάν τις θεοσεβὴς ᾖ καὶ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιῇ τούτου ἀκούει
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
קְרָא אֵלַי וְאֶעֱנֶךָּ וְאַגִּידָה לְּךָ גְּדֹלוֹת וּבְצֻרוֹת לֹא יְדַעְתָּֽם׃
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
קָרוֹב יְהוָה לְכָל-קֹרְאָיו לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָאֻהוּ בֶאֱמֶֽת׃
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
ὃς τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν αὐτὸς ἀνήνεγκεν ἐν τῷ σώματι αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον ἵνα ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἀπογενόμενοι τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ ζήσωμεν οὗ τῷ μώλωπι αὐτοῦ ἰάθητε
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead should to sins, live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Αἰτεῖτε καὶ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν ζητεῖτε καὶ εὑρήσετε κρούετε καὶ ἀνοιγήσεται ὑμῖν·
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
καὶ ὃ ἐὰν αἰτῶμεν λαμβάνομεν παρ' αὐτοῦ ὅτι τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ τηροῦμεν καὶ τὰ ἀρεστὰ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ποιοῦμεν
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
וְעוֹד אֲנִי מְדַבֵּר וּמִתְפַּלֵּל וּמִתְוַדֶּה חַטָּאתִי וְחַטַּאת עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמַפִּיל תְּחִנָּתִי לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי עַל הַר-קֹדֶשׁ אֱלֹהָֽי׃
And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
זֶבַח רְשָׁעִים תּוֹעֲבַת יְהוָה וּתְפִלַּת יְשָׁרִים רְצוֹנֽוֹ׃
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
πολλοί τε τῶν πεπιστευκότων ἤρχοντο ἐξομολογούμενοι καὶ ἀναγγέλλοντες τὰς πράξεις αὐτῶν
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
τίνα δὲ ὑμῶν τὸν πατέρα αἰτήσει ὁ υἱὸς ἄρτον μὴ λὶθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ εἰ καὶ ἰχθύν μὴ ἀντὶ ἰχθύος ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
תַּאֲוַת עֲנָוִים שָׁמַעְתָּ יְהוָה תָּכִין לִבָּם תַּקְשִׁיב אָזְנֶֽךָ׃
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל אַבְרָהָם אֶל-הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיִּרְפָּא אֱלֹהִים אֶת-אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וְאֶת-אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאַמְהֹתָיו וַיֵּלֵֽדוּ׃
So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
וְעַתָּה קְחֽוּ-לָכֶם שִׁבְעָֽה-פָרִים וְשִׁבְעָה אֵילִים וּלְכוּ׀ אֶל-עַבְדִּי אִיּוֹב וְהַעֲלִיתֶם עוֹלָה בַּֽעַדְכֶם וְאִיּוֹב עַבְדִּי יִתְפַּלֵּל עֲלֵיכֶם כִּי אִם-פָּנָיו אֶשָּׂא לְבִלְתִּי עֲשׂוֹת עִמָּכֶם נְבָלָה כִּי לֹא דִבַּרְתֶּם אֵלַי נְכוֹנָה כְּעַבְדִּי אִיּֽוֹב׃
Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
מֵסִיר אָזְנוֹ מִשְּׁמֹעַ תּוֹרָה גַּם תְּפִלָּתוֹ תּוֹעֵבָֽה׃
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
וַיִּשְׁמַע יְהוָה אֶל-יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ וַיִּרְפָּא אֶת-הָעָֽם׃
And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
