MLV(i)
13 Go you*, inquire of Jehovah for me and for the people and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found, for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book to do according to all what is written concerning us.
14 So Hilkiah the priest and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah, went to 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 second quarter) and they spoke with her.
15 And she said to them, Jehovah says thus, the God of Israel: Tell you* the man who sent you* to me, 16 Jehovah says thus, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place and upon the inhabitants of it, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read. 17 Because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath will be kindled against this place and it will not be quenched.
18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you* to inquire of Jehovah, thus you* will say to him, Jehovah says thus, the God of Israel: As concerning the words which you have heard, 19 because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before Jehovah when you heard what I spoke against this place and against the inhabitants of it, that they should become a desolation and a curse and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, says Jehovah.
