She lived in Jerusalem in the Second District. They spoke with her about this.She said to them,“ This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel says: Say to the man who sent you to Me,‘ This is what Yahweh says: I am about to bring disaster on this place and on its inhabitants, fulfilling all the curses written in the book that they read in the presence of the king of Judah,because they have abandoned Me and burned incense to other gods in order to provoke Me with all the works of their hands. My wrath will be poured out on this place, and it will not be quenched.’Say this to the king of Judah who sent you to ask Yahweh,‘ This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel says: As for the words that you heard,because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and because you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I Myself have heard’— this is the Lord’s declaration.‘ 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 disaster that I am bringing on this place and on its inhabitants.’” Then they reported to the king.So the king sent messengers and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.The king went up to the Lord’s temple with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, as well as the priests and the Levites— all the people from great to small. He read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that had been found in the Lord’s temple.Then the king stood at his post and made a covenant in the Lord’s presence to follow the Lord and to keep His commands, His decrees, and His statutes with all his heart and with all his soul in order to carry out the words of the covenant written in this book.
