Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Kings. When Josiah hears the words of the book, he tears his clothes. His reaction shows that the reading is not presented as neutral information, but as an accusation directly affecting the spiritual condition of the people. The king recognizes that Judah has provoked the Lord’s anger because its ancestors did not obey what was written. Josiah then seeks to consult the Lord through his representatives. The scene presents a fundamental sequence: hearing the word, recognizing guilt, and seeking God’s response. Reform begins with a serious confrontation with Scripture.

Gehet hin und fraget den HERRN für mich, für dies Volk und für ganz Juda um die Worte dieses Buches, das gefunden ist; denn es ist ein großer Grimm des HERRN, der über uns entbrannt ist, darum daß unsre Väter nicht gehorcht haben den Worten dieses Buches, daß sie täten alles, was darin geschrieben ist.
Id, y preguntad a Jehová por mí, y por el pueblo, y por todo Judá, acerca de las palabras de este libro que se ha hallado: porque grande ira de Jehová es la que ha sido encendida contra nosotros, por cuanto nuestros padres no escucharon las palabras de este libro, para hacer conforme a todo lo que nos fue escrito.
«Vayan a consultar a Jehová por mí, por el pueblo y por todo Judá acerca de las palabras de este libro que ha sido hallado. Grande es la ira de Jehová que se ha encendido contra nosotros, porque nuestros padres no obedecieron las palabras de este libro ni cumplieron todo lo escrito para nosotros».
Allez, consultez l'Eternel pour moi, pour le peuple, et pour tout Juda, au sujet des paroles de ce livre qu'on a trouvé; car grande est la colère de l'Eternel, qui s'est enflammée contre nous, parce que nos pères n'ont point obéi aux paroles de ce livre et n'ont point mis en pratique tout ce qui nous y est prescrit.
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.
Ide, e consultai o SENHOR por mim, pelo povo e por todo o Judá, acerca das palavras deste livro que se achou; porque grande é o furor do SENHOR, que se acendeu contra nós; porquanto nossos pais não deram ouvidos às palavras deste livro, para fazerem conforme tudo quanto acerca de nós está escrito.
