2 Chronicles 29:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 They have also shut the doors of the porch, and quenched the lamps, and have neither burnt incense, nor offered burnt offerings in the Sanctuary unto the God of Israel.
8 [a]Wherefore the wrath of the Lord hath been on Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath made them a [b]scattering, a desolation, and an hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
9 For lo, our fathers are fallen by the sword, and our sons, and our daughters, and our wives are in captivity for the same cause.

2 Chronicles 29:7-9
New International Version
7 They also shut the doors of the portico and put out the lamps. They did not burn incense(A) or present any burnt offerings at the sanctuary to the God of Israel. 8 Therefore, the anger of the Lord has fallen on Judah and Jerusalem; he has made them an object of dread and horror(B) and scorn,(C) as you can see with your own eyes. 9 This is why our fathers have fallen by the sword and why our sons and daughters and our wives are in captivity.(D)
