Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and

count
the money that
has

LORD
, which the doorkeepers
have collected
from
the people .
and let them deliver it into the hand

of
the money that
was
delivered
into their hand;

it into the hand

who
have
the

servant ,
saying,
and
commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Achbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of
the
king:
Go you,
inquire of Yahweh
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 Yahweh
that is
kindled
against us ,
because our fathers have not listened
to
the words of this book ,
to
do
according
to
all that which
is written concerning
us.
“
Go and
inquire of the
LORD
for me, for the people, and for all Judah concerning the words in
this book that has
been
found .
For great is the wrath of the
LORD
that burns
against us because our fathers have not obeyed
the words of this book by
doing
all that is written about
us. ”
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 lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter);
and
they
talked
with
her
.

spoke
to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the
keeper of the wardrobe .
She lived in Jerusalem ,
in the Second District
.
She
said to them, Thus
says
Yahweh
, the God of Israel: Tell you
the man who sent you to
me,
And
Huldah
said to them, “This
is
what
the
LORD
, the God of Israel ,
says
: ‘
Tell the man who sent you
Thus
says Yahweh,
Behold,
I will
bring evil
on this place ,
and on the
inhabitants
of
it
, even
all the words of the book which
the king of Judah has read .
that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says :
I am
about
to
bring calamity
on this place and on its
people
, according
to
all the words of the book that
the king of Judah has read ,
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 shall
be kindled against this place ,
and it
shall
not be quenched.
because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works
of their hands .
My wrath will
be kindled against this place and will
not be quenched. ’
But to
the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh
, thus
shall
you
tell him ,
Thus
says
Yahweh
, the God of Israel: As touching
the words which
you have
heard,
But as
for
the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the
LORD
, tell him that
this
is
what
the
LORD
, the God of Israel ,
says
: ‘
As for
the words that
you heard,
because your heart was tender ,
and you did
humble
yourself before Yahweh,
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
Yahweh
.
because your heart was tender and you humbled
yourself before the
LORD
when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its
people
, that they would
become a desolation and a curse, and because
you
have torn your clothes and wept before Me ,
I have heard you, ’
declares
the
LORD
.
Therefore ,
behold,
I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall
be gathered to your grave in peace ,
neither
shall
your eyes see all the evil
which
I will bring on this place. They brought the king word
again
.
‘
Therefore I will indeed
gather you to your fathers, and you will
be gathered to your grave in peace .
Your eyes will
not
see all the calamity
that
I will bring on this place. ’”
So
they brought her
answer
back
to
the king.
