2 Chronicles 15:14New International Reader's VersionThey made a promise to the Lord. They praised him out loud. They shouted. They blew trumpets and horns. See the chapter |
All the men joined the nobles of their people. They made a firm agreement. They made a promise and said they would be cursed if they didn’t keep it. They promised to follow the Law of God. It had been given through Moses, the servant of God. They promised to obey carefully all the commands, rules and laws of the Lord our Lord.
I also shook out my pockets and emptied them. I said, “Someone might decide not to keep this promise they have made. If that happens, may God shake them out of their house! May he empty them of everything they own!” The whole community said, “Amen.” They praised the Lord. And the leaders did what they had promised to do.
