The Spirit of God Comes on Azariah

15 Now ^(A)the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded, ² and he went out ^[a]to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: ^(B)Yahweh is with you when you are with Him. And ^(C)if you seek Him, He will be found; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. ^3 (D)Now for many days Israel was without the true God and without ^(E)a teaching priest and without law. ⁴ But ^(F)in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and they searched for Him, and He was found by them. ^5 (G)Now in those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for much confusion was upon all the inhabitants of the lands. ^6 (H)And nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God threw them into confusion with every kind of distress. ⁷ But you, ^(I)be strong and do not let your hands fall limp, for there is ^(J)reward for your work.”
