2 Chronicles 29:3-11

3He in the firstH7223 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the firstH7223 monthH2320, openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and repairedH2388 them. 4And he broughtH935 in the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and gatheredH622 them together into the broad place on the eastH4217, 5and saidH559 unto them, HearH8085 me, ye LevitesH3881; nowH6258 sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and sanctifyH6942 the houseH1004 of Jehovah, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carry forthH3318 the filthiness out of the holyH6944 placeH6944. 6For our fathersH1 have trespassed, and done that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah our GodH430, and have forsaken him, and have turnedH5437 awayH5437 their facesH6440 from the habitation of Jehovah, and turnedH5437 their backsH6203. 7AlsoH1571 they have shutH5462 up the doorsH1817 of the porchH197, and put out the lampsH5216, and have not burned incenseH7004 nor offeredH5927 burnt-offerings in the holyH6944 placeH6944 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 8Wherefore the wrathH7110 of Jehovah wasH1961 upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he hath delivered them to beH1961 tossed to and fro, to beH1961 an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869. 9For, lo, our fathersH1 have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, and our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 and our wivesH802 are in captivityH7628 for this. 10NowH6258 it is in my heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierce angerH639 may turnH7725 awayH7725 from us. 11My sonsH1121, beH1961 not nowH6258 negligent; for Jehovah hath chosen you to standH5975 before him, to minister unto him, and that ye should beH1961 his ministers, and burn incenseH6999.
