34:17 They melted down the silver in the Lord’s temple ¹  and handed it over to the supervisors of the construction foremen.”

2 Chronicles 34:25

34:25 This will happen because they have abandoned me and offered sacrifices ²  to other gods, angering me with all the idols they have made. ³  My anger will ignite against this place and will not be extinguished!’”

2 Chronicles 12:7

12:7 When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, he gave this message to Shemaiah: ⁴  “They have humbled themselves, so I will not destroy them. I will deliver them soon. ⁵  My anger will not be unleashed against ⁶  Jerusalem through ⁷  Shishak.

2 Chronicles 34:21

34:21 “Go, seek an oracle from ⁸  the Lord for me and those who remain in Israel and Judah. Find out about ⁹  the words of this scroll that has been discovered. For the Lord’s fury has been ignited against us, ¹⁰  because our ancestors ¹¹  have not obeyed the word of the Lord by doing all that this scroll instructs!” ¹² 

¹ tn Heb “that was found in the house of the Lord.”

² tn Or “burned incense.”

³ tn Heb “angering me with all the work of their hands.” The present translation assumes this refers to idols they have manufactured (note the preceding reference to “other gods”). However, it is possible that this is a general reference to their sinful practices, in which case one might translate, “angering me by all the things they do.”

³ tn Heb “the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying.”

⁴ tn Heb “and I will give to them soon deliverance.”

⁵ tn Or “gush forth upon.”

⁶ tn Heb “by the hand of.”

⁴ tn Or “inquire of.”

⁵ tn Heb “concerning.”

⁶ tn Heb “for great is the anger of the Lord which has been ignited against us.”

⁷ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 32, 33).

⁸ tn Heb “by doing according to all that is written on this scroll.”
