2 Chronicles 15:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ One nation oppressed another nation, and one city oppressed another city, because God was bringing trouble and distress on them. ⁷ But you must be strong and not be discouraged. The work that you do will be rewarded.”

⁸ When Asa heard the prophecy that Azariah son of^[a] Oded had spoken, he was encouraged. He did away with all the idols in the land of Judah and Benjamin and all the idols in the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He also repaired the altar of the Lord that stood in the Temple courtyard.
