1Jn 1:2 (And the life was made clear to us, and we have seen it and are witnessing to it and giving you word of that eternal life which was with the Father and was seen by us);
1Jn 1:3 We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:
1Jn 1:4 And we are writing these things to you so that our joy may be made complete.
1Jn 1:5 This is the word which came to us from him and which we give to you, that God is light and in him there is nothing dark.
1Jn 1:6 If we say we are joined to him, and are walking still in the dark, our words are false and our acts are untrue:
1Jn 1:7 But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin.
1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we are false to ourselves and there is nothing true in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have no sin, we make him false and his word is not in us.
2Ch 34:1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.
2Ch 34:2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of his father David, without turning to the right hand or to the left.
2Ch 34:3 In the eighth year of his rule, while he was still young, his heart was first turned to the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he undertook the clearing away of all the high places and the pillars and the images of wood and metal from Judah and Jerusalem.
2Ch 34:4 He had the altars of the Baals broken down, while he himself was present; and the sun-images which were placed on high over them he had cut down; and the pillars of wood and the metal images he had broken up and crushed to dust, dropping the dust over the resting-places of the dead who had made offerings to them.
2Ch 34:5 And he had the bones of the priests burned on their altars, and so he made Judah and Jerusalem clean.
2Ch 34:6 And in all the towns of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon as far as Naphtali, he made waste their houses round about.
2Ch 34:7 He had the altars and the pillars of wood pulled down and the images crushed to dust, and all the sun-images cut down, through all the land of Israel, and then he went back to Jerusalem.
2Ch 34:8 Now in the eighteenth year of his rule, when the land and the house had been made clean, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the town, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to make good what was damaged in the house of the Lord his God.
2Ch 34:9 And they came to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and gave him all the money which had been taken into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had got from Manasseh and Ephraim and those of Israel who had not been taken away as prisoners, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the people of Jerusalem.
2Ch 34:10 And they gave it to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, and the overseers gave it to the workmen working in the house, for building it up and making good what was damaged;
2Ch 34:11 Even to the woodworkers and builders to get cut stone and wood for joining the structure together and for making boards for the houses which the kings of Judah had given up to destruction.
2Ch 34:12 And the men did the work well; and those who had authority over them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, who were to be responsible for seeing that the work was done; and others of the Levites, who were expert with instruments of music,
2Ch 34:13 Had authority over the transport workers, giving directions to all who were doing any sort of work; and among the Levites there were scribes and overseers and door-keepers.
2Ch 34:14 Now when they were taking out the money which had come into the Lord's house, Hilkiah the priest came across the book of the law of the Lord, which he had given by the mouth of Moses.
2Ch 34:15 Then Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.
2Ch 34:16 And Shaphan took the book to the king; and he gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants are doing all they have been given to do;
2Ch 34:17 They have taken out all the money which was in the Lord's house and have given it to the overseers and to the workmen.
2Ch 34:18 Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he made a start at reading some of it to the king.
2Ch 34:19 And the king, hearing the words of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief.
2Ch 34:20 And he gave orders to Hilkiah and to Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe and Asaiah, the king's servant, saying,
2Ch 34:21 Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for those who are still in Israel and for Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which has been let loose on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord or done what is recorded in this book.
2Ch 34:22 So Hilkiah, and those whom the king sent, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the robes (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town); and they had talk with her about this thing.
2Ch 34:23 And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Say to the man who sent you to me,
2Ch 34:24 These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even all the curses in the book which they have been reading before the king of Judah;
2Ch 34:25 Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the works of their hands; so my wrath is let loose on this place and will not be put out.
2Ch 34:26 But to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from the Lord, say, This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: Because you have given ear to my words,
2Ch 34:27 And your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before God, on hearing his words about this place and its people, and with weeping and signs of grief have made yourself low before me, I have given ear to you, says the Lord God.
2Ch 34:28 See, I will let you go to your fathers, and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place and on its people. So they took this news back to the king.
2Ch 34:29 Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2Ch 34:30 And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.
2Ch 34:31 Then the king, taking his place by the pillar, made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and to keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and with all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in this book.
2Ch 34:32 And he made all the people in Jerusalem and Benjamin give their word to keep it. And the people of Jerusalem kept the agreement of God, the God of their fathers.
2Ch 34:33 Josiah took away all the disgusting things out of all the lands of the children of Israel, and made all who were in Israel servants of the Lord their God. And as long as he was living they were true to the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Psm 89:19 Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.
Psm 89:20 I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.
Psm 89:21 My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.
Psm 89:22 The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.
Psm 89:23 I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.
Psm 89:24 But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.
Psm 89:25 I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
Psm 89:26 He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.
Psm 89:27 And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.
Psm 89:28 I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.
Psm 89:29 His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.
Psm 89:30 If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;
Psm 89:31 If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;
Psm 89:32 Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.
Psm 89:33 But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.
Psm 89:34 I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.
Psm 89:35 I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.
Psm 89:36 His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.
Psm 89:37 It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah.)
