2 Kings 22:13-19

13Go, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for the peopleH5971, and for all JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of this bookH5612 which is foundH4672; for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of Jehovah that is kindledH3341 against us, because our fathersH1 have not hearkened to the wordsH1697 of this bookH5612, to do according to all that is writtenH3789 [there] for us.

14And Hilkijah the priestH3548, and AhikamH296, and AchborH5907, and ShaphanH8227, and AsaiahH6222, went to HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616, sonH1121 of Harhas, keeperH8104 of the wardrobe: now she dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the secondH4932 quarter [of the town]; and they spokeH1696 with her.

15And she saidH559 to them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Tell the manH376 that sentH7971 you to me,

16ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725 and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 that the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath readH7121.

17Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 2godsH430, that they might provokeH3707 me to angerH3707 with all the workH4639 of their handsH3027, therefore my fury is kindledH3341 against this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.

18But to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, who sentH7971 you to inquire of Jehovah, thusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to him: ThusH3541 saith Jehovah the 3GodH430 of IsraelH3478 touching the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085:

19Because thy heartH3824 wasH1961 tender, and thou didst humbleH3665 thyself before Jehovah, when thou heardest what I spokeH1696 against this placeH4725 and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, that they should becomeH1961 a desolationH8047 and a curseH7045, and didst rend thy garmentsH899 and weepH1058 before me, I alsoH1571 have heardH8085 [thee], saith Jehovah.
