2 Chronicles 30:18-20

18 For a majority of the people, ^amany of them from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise ^bthan as prescribed. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Lord pardon everyone 19 ^cwho sets his heart to seek God, the Lord, the God of his fathers, even though not according to the sanctuary’s rules of cleanness.” ^{▼▼Hebrew not according to the cleanness of holiness} 20 And the Lord heard Hezekiah and healed the people.

Job 42:7-9

The Lord Rebukes Job’s Friends

7 After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz ^ethe Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. 8 Now therefore take ^fseven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and ^goffer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall ^hpray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 ⁱSo Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the Lord had told them, and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.

^lstood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.

30 ^mAnd I sought for a man among them ⁿwho should build up the wall ^oand stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.

Warning Visions

1 ^pThis is what the Lord God showed me: behold, ^qhe was forming locusts when the latter growth was just beginning to sprout, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings. 2 When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said,

“O Lord God, please forgive!
^rHow can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”
3 ^sThe Lord relented concerning this:
“It shall not be,” said the Lord.
