2nd Chronicles 15:2

1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:

2 and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear you me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Yahweh is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.

3 Now for a long season Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law:

4 But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great vexations were on all the inhabitants of the lands.

6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did vex them with all adversity.

7 But be you strong, and don`t let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded.
