even the priests shall take to themselves, each man from his friend; and they shall strengthen the breach of the house, in all places where a breach may be found.
And King Joash called to Jehoiada the priest, and the priests, and said to them, Why have you not made strong the breach of the house? And now, do not receive any silver from your friends, but give it for the breach of the house.
and he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel silver to repair the house of your God fully from year to year; and you shall do the matter quickly. But the Levites did not act quickly.

Who is even among you and would shut the doors, and you not kindle fire on My altar in vain? There is no delight to Me in you, says Jehovah of Hosts. I will not be pleased with a food offering from your hand.
