2 Kings 22:18-20
New King James Version
18 But as for (A)the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, in this manner you shall speak to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: “Concerning the words which you have heard— 19 because your (B)heart was tender, and you (C)humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become (D)a desolation and (E)a curse, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you,” says the Lord. 20 “Surely, therefore, I will [a]gather you to your fathers, and you (F)shall [b]be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place.” ’ ” So they brought back word to the king.
