2 Chronicles 30:6-11 The runners, therefore, went with letters from the hand of the king and his rulers, throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying,––Ye sons of Israel, return ye unto Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and he will return unto the remnant, that which is left to you, out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ The runners, therefore, went with letters from the hand of the king and his rulers, throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying,––Ye sons of Israel, return ye unto Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and he will return unto the remnant, that which is left to you, out of the hand of the kings of Assyria. ⁷ And be not ye like your fathers, or like your brethren, who acted unfaithfully with Yahweh, God of your fathers,––who therefore delivered them up for an astonishment, as, ye yourselves, can see. ⁸ Now, do not stiffen your neck, like your fathers,––stretch forth the hand unto Yahweh, and enter into his sanctuary which he hath hallowed unto times age–abiding, and serve Yahweh your God, that he may turn from you the glow of his anger. ⁹ For, by your returning unto Yahweh, your brethren and your children, shall find compassion before their captors, so as to return unto this land. For, gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh your God, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye will return unto him. ¹⁰ So the runners were passing from city to city throughout the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun,––but they were laughing them to scorn, and mocking them. ¹¹ Howbeit, some, out of Asher and Manasseh and out of Zebulun, humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
