2 Chronicles 20:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ ‘Should any disaster befall us, whether the sword of judgment or war or blood or pestilence or famine, we shall stand before this temple that bears your name and call out to you in our distress, and you will hear our cries and save us.’

¹⁰ “But now, behold the Ammonites, the Moabites, and the people of Mount Seir, whom you would not permit the Israelites to invade when they came from the land of Egypt and whom they avoided and made no attempt to destroy them. ¹¹ See how these people repay us by coming forth to drive us out of the possession you gave us as an inheritance.
