1. And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded,
2. And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3. And many days shall pass in Israel without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without the law.
