@ And
Hilkiah

had appointed,
went
to
Huldah

keeper

spake
to her to that effect.
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:23
@ And she
answered
them, Thus
saith
the
LORD
God
of
Israel
,
Tell
ye the
man
that
sent
you to me,
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:24
@ 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
:
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:25
@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:26
@ 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
;
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:27
@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:28
@ 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

up

read
in their

all the
words
of the

that was
found
in the
house

strkjv@2Chronicles:34:31

king
stood
in his

made
a

the
LORD

commandments

Jerusalem
did
according to the
covenant
of
God

Josiah
took
away
