2 Chronicles 12:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ Then the officers of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said: “The Lord is just.”

⁷ When the Lord saw that they had humbled themselves, this word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: “Because they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them. Rather, I will grant them some degree of deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. ⁸ However, they shall become his servants, so that they may come to understand the difference between serving me and serving the rulers of other countries.”
