For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 16 of 2 Chronicles. Hanani rebukes Asa because he sought support from the king of Syria instead of trusting God, reminding him of the previous victory over the enormous Cushite army. The contrast is central: the same king who once depended on God now places his security in a political alliance. Asa responds by imprisoning the prophet.

Los ojos de Jehová recorren toda la tierra para mostrar su poder a favor de quienes tienen un corazón íntegro hacia él. Has actuado neciamente en esto; desde ahora tendrás guerras».
Car l'Eternel étend ses regards sur toute la terre, pour soutenir ceux dont le coeur est tout entier à lui. Tu as agi en insensé dans cette affaire, car dès à présent tu auras des guerres.
Conciossiachè gli occhi del Signore corrano per tutta la terra, per mostrarsi potente in favor di coloro che hanno il cuore intiero inverso lui; tu hai follemente fatto in questa cosa; perciocchè da ora innanzi tu avrai sempre guerre.
Porque, quanto ao SENHOR, seus olhos passam por toda a terra, para mostrar-se forte para com aqueles cujo coração é perfeito para com ele; nisto, pois, procedeste loucamente porque desde agora haverá guerras contra ti.
因為耶和華的眼目遍察全地,要堅固向他存純正之心的人。你在這事上行得愚昧;因此,以後你必有戰爭。」
