* "
Go ,
inquire of the LORD for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah ,
concerning the words of the book that has been found ;
for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us ,
because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD ,
to do according to all that is written in this book ."
*
So Hilki '
ah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess ,
the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath ,
son of Hasrah ,
keeper of the wardrobe (
now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter )
and spoke to her to that effect .
*
And she said to them , "
Thus says the LORD ,
the God of Israel : `
Tell the man who sent you to me ,
*
Thus says the LORD ,
Behold ,
I will bring evil upon this place and upon its inhabitants ,
all the curses that are written in the book which was read before the king of Judah .
*
Because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods ,
that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands ,
therefore my wrath will be poured out upon this place and will not be quenched .
*
But to the king of Judah ,
who sent you to inquire of the LORD ,
thus shall you say to him ,
Thus says the LORD ,
the God of Israel :
Regarding the words which you have heard ,
*
because your heart was penitent and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants ,
and you have humbled yourself before me ,
and have rent your clothes and wept before me ,
I also have heard you ,
says the LORD .
