14:034:021 Go, enquire of the lord for me, and
for them that are left in
Israel
and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that
is
found:
for great is the wrath of the lord that is poured
out
upon
us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the
lord,
to do after all that is written in this book.
14:034:022 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had
appointed, went to
Huldah
the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath,
the
son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt
in
Jerusalem
in the college:) and they spake to her to that
effect.
14:034:023 And she answered them, Thus saith the lord
God of Israel, Tell
ye
the man that sent you to me,
14:034:024 Thus saith the lord, Behold, I will
bring evil upon this
place,
and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses
that
are written in the book which they have read before
the
king
of Judah:
14:034:025 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 poured
out
upon
this place, and shall not be quenched.
14:034:026 And as for the king of Judah, who sent
you to enquire of the
lord,
so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the lord
God of
Israel
concerning the words which thou hast heard;
14:034:027 Because thine heart was tender, and thou
didst humble thyself
before
God, when thou heardest his words against this place,
and
against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself
before
me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me;
I
have
even heard thee also, saith the lord.
14:034:028 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers,
and thou shalt be
gathered
to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see
all
the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon
the
inhabitants
of the same. So they brought the king word again.
14:034:029 Then the king sent and gathered together
all the elders of
Judah
and Jerusalem.
14:034:030 And the king went up into the house of
the lord, and all the
men
of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the
priests,
and the Levites, and all the people, great and small:
and
he read in their ears all the words of the book of
the
covenant
that was found in the house of the lord.
14:034:031 And the king stood in his place, 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
his
heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words
of the
covenant
which are written in this book.
