Then Ahaz gathered up the articles of the house of God, cut them into pieces, shut the doors of the house of the LORD, and set up altars of his own on every street corner in Jerusalem.

They proceeded to remove the altars in Jerusalem and to take away the incense altars and throw them into the Kidron Valley.

Then the priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard their voice, and their prayer came into His holy dwelling place in heaven.

…and Azariah, the chief priest of the household of Zadok, answered him, “Since the people began to bring their contributions into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and there is plenty left over, because the LORD has blessed His people; this great abundance is what is left over.”

Let it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God. The people are rebuilding it with large stones and placing timbers in the walls. This work is being carried out diligently and is prospering in their hands.

But since our fathers angered the God of heaven, He delivered them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean who destroyed this temple and carried away the people to Babylon.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put into the heart of the king to so honor the house of the LORD in Jerusalem,

I weighed out into their hands 650 talents of silver, articles of silver weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,

On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out the silver and gold and sacred articles into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, along with the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.

From the days of our fathers to this day, our guilt has been great. Because of our iniquities, we and our kings and priests have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the earth and subjected to the sword and to captivity, to pillage and humiliation, as we are this day.

And our enemies said, “Before they know or see a thing, we will come into their midst, kill them, and put an end to the work.”

But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Should one like me go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go!”

Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:

You divided the sea before them, and they crossed through it on dry ground. You hurled their pursuers into the depths like a stone into raging waters.

You divided the sea before them, and they crossed through it on dry ground. You hurled their pursuers into the depths like a stone into raging waters.

So their descendants went in and possessed the land; You subdued before them the Canaanites dwelling in the land. You delivered into their hands the kings and peoples of the land, to do with them as they wished.

So You delivered them into the hands of enemies who oppressed them, and in their time of distress they cried out to You. From heaven You heard them, and in Your great compassion You gave them deliverers who saved them from the hands of their enemies.

You were patient with them for many years, and Your Spirit admonished them through Your prophets. Yet they would not listen, so You gave them into the hands of the neighboring peoples.

And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.

…because they had not met the Israelites with food and water, but had hired Balaam to call down a curse against them (although our God had turned the curse into a blessing).

…and all Judah brought a tenth of the grain, new wine, and oil into the storerooms.

In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath and bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys, along with wine, grapes, and figs. All kinds of goods were being brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned them against selling food on that day.

Did not King Solomon of Israel sin in matters like this? There was not a king like him among many nations, and he was loved by his God, who made him king over all Israel—yet foreign women drew him into sin.

…and let the king appoint commissioners in each province of his kingdom to assemble all the beautiful young women into the harem at the citadel of Susa. Let them be placed under the care of Hegai, the king’s eunuch in charge of the women, and let them be given beauty treatments.

…as the days on which the Jews gained rest from their enemies and the month in which their sorrow turned to joy and their mourning into a holiday. He wrote that these were to be days of feasting and joy, of sending gifts to one another and to the poor.

So Esther’s decree confirmed these regulations about Purim, which were written into the record.

Behold, may that night be barren; may no joyful voice come into it.

Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland and perish.

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?

…then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.

He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into light.

Do You open Your eyes to one like this? Will You bring him into judgment before You?

They have turned night into day, making light seem near in the face of darkness.

Will it go down to the gates of Sheol? Will we go down together into the dust?”

For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.

For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.

He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.

…yet in his stomach his food sours into the venom of cobras within him.

Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you and enters into judgment against you?

They push the needy off the road and force all the poor of the land into hiding.

He throws me into the mud, and I have become like dust and ashes.

You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.

…when the dust hardens into a mass and the clods of earth stick together?

He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he charges into battle.

He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.

The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

…their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.

O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.

You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.

He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.

May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.

Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
