2 Chronicles 12:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.

⁷ And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.

⁸ But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.
