2 Kings 22:16-19

Living Bible

^15-16 She gave them this message from the Lord God of Israel:

“Tell the man who sent you to me that I am going to destroy this city and its people, just as I stated in that book you read. ¹⁷ For the people of Judah have thrown me aside and have worshiped other gods and have made me very angry; and my anger can’t be stopped. ^18-19 But because you were sorry and concerned and humbled yourself before the Lord when you read the book and its warnings that this land would be cursed and become desolate, and because you have torn your clothing and wept before me in contrition, I will listen to your plea.
