2 Chronicles 30:7

Compare all

5 So they¹ resolved to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem, since they had not done it for a long time in the prescribed manner.

6 Then the ^arunners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his leaders, and spoke according to the command of the king: “Children of Israel, ^breturn to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of ^cthe kings of ^dAssyria.

7 And do not be ^alike your fathers and your brethren, who trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers, so that He ^bgave them up to ^cdesolation, as you see.

8 Now do not be ^astiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the Lord; and enter His sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the Lord your God, ^bthat the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.

9 For if you return to the Lord, your brethren and your children will be treated with ^acompassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the Lord your God is ^bgracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you ^creturn to Him.”
