In context — 2 Kings 22:13
Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found; for great is the wrath of the LORD which is kindled against us because our fathers did not listen to the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.
