2 Chronicles 29:4-11

And he brought in
<0935> (8686)
the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and gathered them together
<0622> (8799)
into the east
<04217>
street
<07339>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Hear
<08085> (8798)
me, ye Levites
<03881>_,
sanctify
<06942> (8690)
now yourselves, and sanctify
<06942> (8761)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of your fathers
<01>_,
and carry forth
<03318> (8685)
the filthiness
<05079>
out of the holy
<06944>
[place].
For our fathers
<01>
have trespassed
<04603> (8804)_,
and done
<06213> (8804)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
and have forsaken
<05800> (8799)
him, and have turned away
<05437> (8686)
their faces
<06440>
from the habitation
<04908>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and turned
<05414> (8799)
[their] backs
<06203>_.
{turned their...: Heb. given the neck}
Also they have shut up
<05462> (8804)
the doors
<01817>
of the porch
<0197>_,
and put out
<03518> (8762)
the lamps
<05216>_,
and have not burned
<06999> (8689)
incense
<07004>
nor offered
<05927> (8689)
burnt offerings
<05930>
in the holy
<06944>
[place] unto the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Wherefore the wrath
<07110>
of the LORD
<03068>
was upon Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and he hath delivered
<05414> (8799)
them to trouble
<02189> (8675) <02113>_,
to astonishment
<08047>_,
and to hissing
<08322>_,
as ye see
<07200> (8802)
with your eyes
<05869>_.
{trouble: Heb. commotion}
For, lo, our fathers
<01>
have fallen
<05307> (8804)
by the sword
<02719>_,
and our sons
<01121>
and our daughters
<01323>
and our wives
<0802>
[are] in captivity
<07628>
for this.
Now [it is] in mine heart
<03824>
to make
<03772> (8800)
a covenant
<01285>
with the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that his fierce
<02740>
wrath
<0639>
may turn away
<07725> (8799)
from us.
My sons
<01121>_,
be not now negligent
<07952> (8735)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath chosen
<0977> (8804)
you to stand
<05975> (8800)
before
<06440>
him, to serve
<08334> (8763)
him, and that ye should minister
<08334> (8764)
unto him, and burn incense
<06999> (8688)_.
{be not...: or, be not now deceived} {burn...: or, offer sacrifice}
