Pay attention, my people, to my instruction! Listen to the words I speak!

Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.

“ Pay attention to Me, My people, And listen to Me, My nation; For a law will go out from Me, And I will bring My justice as a light of the peoples.

Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen, that you may live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, According to the faithful mercies shown to David.

“ To you, people, I call, And my voice is to mankind.You naive ones, understand prudence; And, you fools, understand wisdom!Listen, for I will speak noble things; And the opening of my lips will reveal right things.

Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge.

Hear, you kings; listen, you dignitaries! I myself— to the Lord, I myself will sing, I will sing praise to the Lord, the God of Israel!

God, why have You rejected us forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?

Hear this, all peoples; Listen, all inhabitants of the world,Both low and high, Rich and poor together.My mouth will speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart will be understanding.

“ Hear, My people, and I will speak; Israel, I will testify against you; I am God, your God.

The one who has ears, let him hear.”

Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded,and he went out to meet Asa and said to him,“ Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you.For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without the Law.But in their distress they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him.In those times there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress.But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is a reward for your work.”Now when Asa heard these words and the prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the Lord which was in front of the porch of the Lord.And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.They sacrificed to the Lord on that day seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from the spoils they had brought.They entered into the covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and soul;and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.Moreover, they made an oath to the Lord with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and with horns.All Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and had sought Him earnestly, and He let them find Him. So the Lord gave them rest on every side.He also removed Maacah, the mother of King Asa, from the position of queen mother, because she had made an abominable image as an Asherah, and Asa cut down her abominable image, crushed it, and burned it at the brook Kidron.
