English Standard Version

¹⁴ So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of ^(A)Tikvah, son of ^(B)Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in ^(C)the Second Quarter), and they talked with her. ¹⁵ And she said to them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me, ¹⁶ Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will bring disaster upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read. ^17 (D)Because they have forsaken me and have made offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore ^(E)my wrath will be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched. ¹⁸ But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Regarding the words that you have heard, ^19 (F)because your heart was penitent, and you ^(G)humbled yourself before the Lord, when you heard how I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become ^(H)a desolation and ^(I)a curse, and you ^(J)have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares the Lord.
