Context — Huldah’s Prophecy
23And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you
24that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the curses written in the book that has been read in the presence of the king of Judah,
25because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. My wrath will be poured out upon this place and will not be quenched.’
26But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard, 27because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its people, and because you have humbled yourself before Me and have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,’ declares the LORD.Cross References

I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to leave the land that I assigned to your fathers, if only they are careful to do all that I have commanded them through Moses—all the laws, statutes, and judgments.” So Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites. |

2 Chronicles 34:25 Summary
[This verse, 2 Chronicles 34:25, is saying that God's people had turned away from Him and were doing things that made Him very angry, like burning incense to other gods, which is also warned against in Deuteronomy 13:6-10. As a result, God's wrath would be poured out and not stopped, similar to what is described in Isaiah 34:8-10. However, as seen in other passages like Jeremiah 7:18-20 and Ezekiel 8:17-18, God always offers a way back to Him through repentance and humility, as the king of Judah demonstrated in 2 Chronicles 34:26-27. By acknowledging our sin and turning back to God, we can experience His mercy and forgiveness, as promised in Joel 2:12-14.]

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 34:25
(25) Works.—“Work” (Kings), and some MSS. and the Syriac version here. Poured out.—“Shall be kindled” (Kings), which agrees better with “shall not be quenched.” (See 2 Chronicles 34:21 for the same alteration. The LXX. here has (ἐξεκαύθη) “was kindled.” Burned incense.—Hiphil, which is much commoner in the chronicle than piel, the form in Kings (the forms piel and hiphil of this word qatar are about equally used in Kings.)
