My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 29 of 2 Chronicles. Hezekiah begins to reign and opens the temple doors, ordering their cleansing and restoration. In his speech to the priests and Levites, he interprets the previous crisis as a consequence of Judah’s unfaithfulness. The reform begins with a call to sanctify themselves and restore the worship of the Lord.

Hijos míos, no sean negligentes ahora, porque Jehová los ha escogido para estar delante de él y servirle, para ser sus ministros y quemar incienso».
Maintenant, mes fils, cessez d'être négligents; car vous avez été choisis par l'Eternel pour vous tenir à son service devant lui, pour être ses serviteurs, et pour lui offrir des parfums.
Figliuoli miei, ora non errate; perciocchè il Signore vi ha eletti, per presentarvi davanti a lui per servirgli, e per essergli ministri, e per fargli profumi
Agora, filhos meus, não sejais negligentes; pois o SENHOR vos tem escolhido para estardes diante dele para o servirdes, e para serdes seus ministros e queimadores de incenso.
我的眾子啊,現在不要懈怠;因為耶和華揀選你們站在他面前事奉他,作他的僕人,向他燒香。」
