⁶ So the couriers^(A) went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the hand of the king and his officials, and according to the king’s command, saying, “Israelites, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel so that he may return to those of you who remain, who have escaped the grasp of the kings of Assyria.^{(B) 7} Don’t be like your ancestors and your brothers who were unfaithful to the Lord, the God of their ancestors^(C) so that he made them an object of horror^(D) as you yourselves see. ⁸ Don’t become obstinate^[a](E) now like your ancestors did. Give your allegiance^[b] to the Lord, and come to his sanctuary that he has consecrated forever. Serve the Lord your God so that he may turn his burning anger away from you,^(F)
