So the rulers of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous.

And when Jehovah saw that they had humbled themselves, the Word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them a little deliverance. My wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

And when he was in distress, he entreated Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

and prayed to Him; and He was entreated of him, heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh recognized that Jehovah was God.

For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and consecrated place, even with the contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Through Jehovah's kindness we are not consumed, because His compassions never fail.

For He does not wish to afflict nor grieve the sons of men;

We have sinned and have rebelled; You have not forgiven.

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

Nevertheless good things have been found in you, in that you have burned the groves from the land, and have fixed your heart to seek God.

Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?

And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he is the only one of Jeroboam who shall come to the grave; because out of the whole house of Jeroboam, only in him there is found something good toward Jehovah, the God of Israel.

But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return and be consumed like the terebinth and like the oak when it is cut down, whose stump remains. The holy seed is its stump.
