Go{H3212}{(H8798)} ye, enquire{H1875}{(H8798)} of the LORD{H3068} for me, and for the people{H5971}, and for all Judah{H3063}, concerning the words{H1697} of this book{H5612} that is found{H4672}{(H8737)}: for great{H1419} is the wrath{H2534} of the LORD{H3068} that is kindled{H3341}{(H8738)} against us, because our fathers{H1} have not hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} unto the words{H1697} of this book{H5612}, to do{H6213}{(H8800)} according unto all that which is written{H3789}{(H8803)} concerning us.

2 Kings 22:15
And she said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, Tell{H559}{(H8798)} the man{H376} that sent{H7971}{(H8804)} you to me,
2 Kings 22:16
Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, Behold, I will bring{H935}{(H8688)} evil{H7451} upon this place{H4725}, and upon the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} thereof, even all the words{H1697} of the book{H5612} which the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} hath read{H7121}{(H8804)}:
2 Kings 22:17
Because they have forsaken{H5800}{(H8804)} me, and have burned incense{H6999}{(H8762)} unto other{H312} gods{H430}, that they might provoke me to anger{H3707}{(H8687)} with all the works{H4639} of their hands{H3027}; therefore my wrath{H2534} shall be kindled{H3341}{(H8738)} against this place{H4725}, and shall not be quenched{H3518}{(H8799)}.
2 Kings 22:18
But to the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} which sent{H7971}{(H8802)} you to enquire{H1875}{(H8800)} of the LORD{H3068}, thus shall ye say{H559}{(H8799)} to him, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, As touching the words{H1697} which thou hast heard{H8085}{(H8804)};
2 Kings 22:19
Because thine heart{H3824} was tender{H7401}{(H8804)}, and thou hast humbled{H3665}{(H8735)} thyself before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, when thou heardest{H8085}{(H8800)} what I spake{H1696}{(H8765)} against this place{H4725}, and against the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} thereof, that they should become a desolation{H8047} and a curse{H7045}, and hast rent{H7167}{(H8799)} thy clothes{H899}, and wept{H1058}{(H8799)} before{H6440} me; I also have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} thee, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.
2 Kings 22:20
Behold therefore, I will gather{H622}{(H8802)} thee unto thy fathers{H1}, and thou shalt be gathered{H622}{(H8738)} into thy grave{H6913} in peace{H7965}; and thine eyes{H5869} shall not see{H7200}{(H8799)} all the evil{H7451} which I will bring{H935}{(H8688)} upon this place{H4725}. And they brought{H7725} the king{H4428} word{H1697} again{H7725}{(H8686)}.
