2 Chronicles 34:27  (King James Version)
Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.
 


Because
"Because," says the Targumist, "thy heart was melted, and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of the word of the Lord, {meymra dyya,} when thou didst hear His words, {yath
pithgamoi,} against this place." Here {meymra,} the personal word, is plainly distinguished from {pithgam,} a word spoken.* thine heart.
