2 Chronicles 16:7-9
English Standard Version
7 At that time (A)Hanani (B)the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, (C)“Because you relied on the king of Syria, and did not rely on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped you. 8 Were not (D)the Ethiopians and (E)the Libyans a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet (F)because you relied on the Lord, he gave them into your hand. 9 (G)For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those (H)whose heart is blameless[a] toward him. (I)You have done foolishly in this, for from now on (J)you will have wars.”

7 At that time Hanani(A) the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him: “Because you relied(B) on the king of Aram and not on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand. 8 Were not the Cushites[a](C) and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers(D) of chariots and horsemen[b]? Yet when you relied on the Lord, he delivered(E) them into your hand. 9 For the eyes(F) of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish(G) thing, and from now on you will be at war.(H)”
