12:022:015 And she said unto them, Thus saith the
lord God of Israel,
Tell
the man that sent you to me,
12:022:016 Thus saith the lord, Behold, I will
bring evil upon this
place,
and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words
of
the
book which the king of Judah hath read:
12:022:017 Because they have forsaken me, and have
burned incense unto
other
gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all
the
works
of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled
against
this place, and shall not be quenched.
12:022:018 But to the king of Judah which sent you
to enquire of the
lord,
thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the lord
God of
Israel,
As touching the words which thou hast heard;
12:022:019 Because thine heart was tender, and thou
hast humbled thyself
before
the lord, when thou heardest what I spake against
this
place,
and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should
become
a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes,
and
wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the lord.
12:022:020 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto
thy fathers, and
thou
shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine
eyes
shall
not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place.
And
they brought the king word again.
12:023:001 And the king sent, and they gathered unto
him all the elders
of
Judah and of Jerusalem.
12:023:002 And the king went up into the house of
the lord, and all the
men
of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with
him,
and
the priests, and the prophets, and all the people,
both
small
and great: and he read in their ears all the words
of
the
book of the covenant which was found in the house of
the
lord.
12:023:003 And the king stood by a pillar, and made
a covenant before the
lord,
to walk after the lord, and to keep his commandments
and
his
testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and
all
their
soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were
written
in this book. And all the people stood to the
covenant.
12:023:004 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high
priest, and the
priests
of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to
bring
forth out of the temple of the lord all the vessels
that
were
made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host
of
heaven:
and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields
of
Kidron,
and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.
