2 Chronicles 17:6

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh all his days.

He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.

that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire.

Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.

then you will delight yourself in Yahweh, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”

but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherah poles;

Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

However the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was not yet a house built for Yahweh’s name.

However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.

When he humbled himself, Yahweh’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.

But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to Yahweh. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land which you gave before them. They didn’t turn from their wicked works.

Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Yahweh.

Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

But if you tell me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God;’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?’

He broke in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s bones.

However the high places were not taken away, and the people had still not set their hearts on the God of their fathers.

He broke down the altars, and beat the Asherah poles and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, then returned to Jerusalem.

For Ezra had set his heart to seek Yahweh’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.

Surely then you will lift up your face without spot; Yes, you will be steadfast, and will not fear:

Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.

Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of Yahweh has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?

Yahweh, within her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.

But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.

He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes. However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

“Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.

Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God.”

who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his fathers, even if they aren’t clean according to the purification of the sanctuary.”

Hasn’t the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You shall worship before one altar, and you shall burn incense on it?’

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.

Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”

Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.

Serve Yahweh with gladness. Come before his presence with singing.

I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

Then I wouldn’t be disappointed, when I consider all of your commandments.

In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him.

Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand; but those who are wise will understand.

For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the nations,” says Yahweh of Armies.

and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.

He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”

Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

Because you didn’t serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;

However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.

Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh’s law.

Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, for Yahweh’s glory is great!

Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them; But the rebellious stumble in them.

and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
