2 Chronicles 15 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

The Prophet Azariah Warns Asa

2Ch 15:1And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

2Ch 15:2and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Jehovah is with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

2Ch 15:3

2Ch 15:3Now for a long season Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law:

2Ch 15:4

2Ch 15:4But when in their distress they turned unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

2Ch 15:5

2Ch 15:5And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in; but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the lands.

2Ch 15:6

2Ch 15:6And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did vex them with all adversity.

2Ch 15:7

2Ch 15:7But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded.

2Ch 15:9
