*
And said unto them ,
Hear me ,
ye Levites ,
sanctify now yourselves ,
and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers ,
and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place .
*
For our fathers have trespassed ,
and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God ,
and have forsaken him ,
and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD ,
and turned their backs .
*
Also they have shut up the doors of the porch ,
and put out the lamps ,
and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem ,
and he hath delivered them to trouble za #
z @
va #
ah #,
to astonishment ,
and to hissing ,
as ye see with your eyes .
*
For ,
lo ,
our fathers have fallen by the sword ,
and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this .
*
Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
that his fierce wrath may turn away from us .
*
My sons ,
be not now negligent :
for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him ,
to serve him ,
and that ye should minister unto him ,
and burn incense .
