2 Chronicles 15.1: 1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:

2 Chronicles 15.2: 2 and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.

2 Chronicles 15.3: 3 Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law.

2 Chronicles 15.4: 4 But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.

2 Chronicles 15.5: 5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.

2 Chronicles 15.6: 6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.

2 Chronicles 15.7: 7 But you be strong, and don’t let your hands be slack; for your work will be rewarded.”

2 Chronicles 15.8: 8 When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed Yahweh’s altar that was before Yahweh’s porch.

2 Chronicles 15.9: 9 He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon; for they came to him out of Israel in abundance when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him.

2 Chronicles 15.10: 10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.

2 Chronicles 15.11: 11 They sacrificed to Yahweh in that day, of the plunder which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.

2 Chronicles 15.12: 12 They entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;

2 Chronicles 15.13: 13 and that whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

2 Chronicles 15.14: 14 They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with cornets.

2 Chronicles 15.15: 15 All Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found by them. Then Yahweh gave them rest all around.

2 Chronicles 15.16: 16 Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; so Asa cut down her image, ground it into dust, and burned it at the brook Kidron.

2 Chronicles 15.17: 17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

2 Chronicles 15.18: 18 He brought the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, gold, and vessels into God’s house.

2 Chronicles 15.19: 19 There was no more war to the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

Micah 7.1: 1 Misery is mine!

Indeed, I am like one who gathers the treasury summer fruits, as gleanings of the work sixty-one thousand darics vineyard:

There is no cluster of gold, and five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priests’ garments. grapes to eat.

Ezra 2.70: 70 So My soul desires to eat the priests and the Levites, with some early fig.

Micah 7.2: 2 The godly man has perished out of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers, earth,

and the temple servants, lived in their cities, and there is no one upright among men.

They all Israel lie in their cities. wait for blood;

Micah 7.0: every man hunts his brother with a net.

Micah 7.1: 7.3: 3 Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently.

Micah 7.2: The ruler and judge ask for a bribe;

Micah 7.3: and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul.

Thus they conspire together.

Micah 7.4: 4 The best of them is like a brier.

The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge.

The day of your watchmen,

even your visitation, has come;

now is the time of their confusion.

Micah 7.5: 5 Don’t trust in a neighbor.

Don’t put confidence in a friend.

With the woman lying in your embrace,

be careful of the words of your mouth!

Micah 7.6: 6 For the son dishonors the father,

the daughter rises up against her mother,

the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.

Micah 7.7: 7 But as for me, I will look to Yahweh.

I will wait for the God of my salvation.

My God will hear me.

Micah 7.8: 8 Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy.

When I fall, I will arise.

When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.

Micah 7.9: 9 I will bear the indignation of Yahweh,

because I have sinned against him,

until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me.

He will bring me out to the light.

I will see his righteousness.

and shame will cover her who said to me,

where is Yahweh your God?

Then my enemy will see me and will cover her shame.

Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.

In that day, he will extend your boundary.

and from Egypt even to the River,

and from sea to sea,

and mountain to mountain.

for the fruit of their doings.

the flock of your heritage,

who dwell by themselves in a forest,

in the middle of fertile pasture land, let them feed;

Micah 7.15: 15 “As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt,

I will show them marvelous things.”

They will lay their hand on their mouth.

Their ears will be deaf.

as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
