TSK · 2 Chronicles 12:14

If only it would really be their desire to fear me and obey all my commandments in the future, so that it may go well with them and their descendants forever.

O LORD God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, always maintain these motives of your people and keep them devoted to you.

Nevertheless you have done some good things; you removed the Asherah poles from the land and you were determined to follow God.”

I am determined, O God! I am determined! I will sing and praise you!

They were not really committed to him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.

I have not spoken in secret, in some hidden place. I did not tell Jacob’s descendants,‘Seek me in vain!’ I am the LORD, the one who speaks honestly, who makes reliable announcements.

They come to you in crowds, and they sit in front of you as my people. They hear your words, but do not obey them. For they talk lustfully, and their heart is set on their own advantage.

So then, dear brothers and sisters, be firm. Do not be moved! Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
