*
So Hilkiah the priest ,
and Ahikam ,
and Achbor ,
and Shaphan ,
and Asahiah ,
went unto Huldah the prophetess ,
the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah ,
the son of Harhas ,
keeper of the wardrobe ; (
now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college ;)
and they communed with her .
*
And she said unto them ,
Thus saith the LORD God of Israel ,
Tell the man that sent you to me ,
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
