Listen to 2 Re 22:13
13 Andate, domandate il Signore per me, e per lo popolo, e per tutto Giuda, intorno alle parole di questo libro ch’è stato trovato; perciocchè grande è l’ira del Signore, ch’è accesa contro a noi; perciocchè i nostri padri non hanno ubbidito alle parole di questo libro, per far tutto ciò che ci è prescritto.

2 Re 22:13 Meaning and Commentary

book, to do according to all which is written concerning us:
