2 Chronicles 29:6-10

English Standard Version

⁶ For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done what was evil in the sight of the Lord our God. They have forsaken him and ^(A)have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord and turned their backs. ⁷ They also ^(B)shut the doors of the vestibule and put out the lamps and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the Holy Place to the God of Israel. ⁸ Therefore ^(C)the wrath of the Lord came on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has made them ^(D)an object of horror, of astonishment, ^(E)and of hissing, as you see with your own eyes. ⁹ For behold, ^(F)our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. ¹⁰ Now ^(G)it is in my heart ^(H)to make a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel, in order that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
