2 Chronicles 13:8-12 ▼

8 And you? are saying to strengthen yourselves before the face of the kingdom of YHWH in the hand of the sons of David, and you? are a great multitude, and with you? are the gold calves that Jeroboam made for you? as gods.

9 Have you? not cast out the priests of YHWH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of the lands? Everyone comes to consecrate himself with a bull, a son of the herd, and seven rams, and he will be a priest of what are not gods.

10 And as for us, YHWH is our God, and we have not forsaken Him and the priests who minister to YHWH, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, in the work.

11 And they burn to YHWH burnt offerings morning by morning and evening by evening, and incense of spices, and the arrangement of bread on the pure gold table, and the lampstand of gold, and its lamps, to burn evening by evening. For we are keeping the charge of YHWH our God, and you? have forsaken Him.

12 And behold, with us at head is God, and His priests, and trumpets sounding to shout against you?. O sons of Israel, do not fight against YHWH, God of your? fathers, for you shall? not prosper.”
