And Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went to Huldah the prophetess the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the wardrobe (and she lived in Jerusalem, in the second quarter ). And they spoke with her.

And she said to them, So says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,

So says Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the Words of the Book which the king of Judah has read;

because they have forsaken Me and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore My wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

And to the king of Judah who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, you shall say this to him, So says Jehovah, the God of Israel, the words that you have heard,

(because your heart was tender, and you have bowed before Jehovah when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against those living in it , to become a desolation and a curse, and havetorn your clothes, and have wept before Me;)even also I have heard, says Jehovah.

Behold! Even so I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered into your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring on this place. And they brought back this word to the king.
