`And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to inquire of Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him: Thus said Jehovah God of Israel, whose words thou hast heard:

בַּֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Because thy heart `is' tender, and thou art humbled before God in thy hearing His words concerning this place, and concerning its inhabitants, and art humbled before Me, and dost rend thy garments, and weep before Me: even I also have heard -- the affirmation of Jehovah.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, even all the people, from great even unto small, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.

יְ֠הוָה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the king standeth on his station, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that are written on this book.

יְהוָה֒ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Josiah turneth aside all the abominations out of all the lands that the sons of Israel have, and causeth every one who is found in Israel to serve, to serve Jehovah their God; all his days they turned not aside from after Jehovah, God of their fathers.

יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Josiah maketh in Jerusalem a passover to Jehovah, and they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth of the first month,

לַיהוָ֑ה (יהוָ֑ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and he stationeth the priests over their charges, and strengtheneth them for the service of the house of Jehovah,

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and saith to the Levites -- who are teaching all Israel -- who are sanctified to Jehovah, `Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David king of Israel built; it is not to you a burden on the shoulder. `Now, serve Jehovah your God, and His people Israel,

לַיהוָ֗ה (יהוָ֗ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and slaughter the passover-offering and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Moses.'

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and they turn aside the burnt-offering, to put them by the divisions of the house of the fathers of the sons of the people, to bring near to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses -- and so to the oxen.

לַיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And all the service of Jehovah is prepared on that day, to keep the passover, and to cause to ascend burnt-offering upon the altar of Jehovah, according to the command of king Josiah.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and his kind acts, according as it is written in the law of Jehovah,

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

A son of twenty and five years `is' Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God;

And of the vessels of the house of Jehovah hath Nebuchadnezzar brought in to Babylon, and putteth them in his temple in Babylon.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

A son of eight years is Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months and ten days he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God, he hath not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet `speaking' from the mouth of Jehovah;

יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and also, against king Nebuchadnezzar he hath rebelled, who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardeneth his neck, and strengtheneth his heart, against turning back unto Jehovah, God of Israel.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Also, all the heads of the priests, and the people, having multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of Jehovah that He hath sanctified in Jerusalem.

And Jehovah, God of their fathers, sendeth unto them by the hand of His messengers -- rising early and sending -- for He hath had pity on His people, and on His habitation,

יְהוָה֩ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, till the going up of the fury of Jehovah against His people -- till there is no healing.

יְהוָ֛ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes -- the whole he hath brought in to Babylon.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

to fulfil the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, till the land hath enjoyed its sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept sabbath -- to the fulness of seventy years.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

`Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that `is' in Judah; who is among you of all His people? Jehovah his God `is' with him, and he doth go up.'
