2 Chronicles 34:20-28

20And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518, and AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of MicahH4318, and ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, and AsaiahH6222 the king’sH4428 servantH5650, sayingH559, 21Go ye, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for them that are leftH7604 in IsraelH3478 and in JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 that is foundH4672; for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of Jehovah that is pouredH5413 out upon us, because our fathersH1 have not keptH8104 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, to do according unto all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.

22So HilkiahH2518, and they whom the kingH4428had commanded, went to HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of Tokhath, the sonH1121 of Hasrah, keeperH8104 of the wardrobe (now she dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the secondH4932 quarter); and they spake to her to that effect. 23And she saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Tell ye the manH376 that sentH7971 you unto me, 24ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, even all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 which they have readH7121 before the kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 25Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provokeH3707 me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore is my wrathH2534 pouredH5413 out upon this placeH4725, and it shall not be quenchedH3518. 26But unto the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, who sentH7971 you to inquire of Jehovah, thusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to him, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: As touching the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085, 27because thy heartH3824 was tender, and thou didst humbleH3665 thyself before GodH430, when thou heardest his wordsH1697 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and hast humbledH3665 thyself before me, and hast rent thy clothesH899, and weptH1058 before me; I alsoH1571 have heardH8085 thee, saith Jehovah. 28Behold, I will gatherH622 thee to thy fathersH1, and thou shalt be gatheredH622 to thy graveH6913 in peaceH7965, neither shall thine eyesH5869 seeH7200 all the evilH7451 that I will bringH935 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. And they broughtH935 backH7725 wordH1697 to the kingH4428.
