2 Kings 22:11-17

11When the kingH4428 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the lawH8451, 1he toreH7167 his clothesH899. 12Then the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, 2AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, 34AchborH5907 the sonH1121 of MicaiahH4320, ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5613, and AsaiahH6222 the king’sH4428 servantH5650 sayingH559, 13“GoH1980, inquireH1875 of the LordH3068 for me and the peopleH5971 and allH3605 JudahH3063 concerningH5921 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 bookH5612 that has been foundH4672, for 5greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LordH3068 that burnsH3341 against us, becauseH5921H834 our fathersH1 have not listenedH8085 to the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 bookH5612, to doH6213 according to allH3605 that is writtenH3789 concerningH5921 us.”

14So HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, AhikamH296, AchborH5907, ShaphanH8227, and AsaiahH6222 wentH1980 to HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of 67TikvahH8616, the sonH1121 of HarhasH2745, keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899 (now she livedH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the 8SecondH4932 Quarter); and they spokeH1696 to her. 15She saidH559 to them, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘TellH559 the manH376 whoH834 sentH7971 you to me, 16thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, I 9bringH935 evilH7463 on thisH2088 placeH4725 and on its inhabitantsH3427, even allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 whichH834 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 has readH7121. 1710BecauseH8478H834 they have forsakenH5800 Me and have burnedH6999 incenseH6999 to otherH312 godsH430 that they might provokeH3707 Me to angerH3707 with allH3605 the workH4639 of their handsH3027, therefore My wrathH2534 burnsH3341 against thisH2088 placeH4725, and it shall not be quenchedH3518.”’
