22:8	Then Hilkiah, u gran sacerdote, said to Shaphan, u scriba, “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the volume to Shaphan, and he read it.
22:9	Ancu, Shaphan, u scriba, went to the king, and reported to him what he had instructed. È disse: “Your servants have brought together the money which was found in the house of the Lord. And they have given it so that it would be distributed to the workers by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord.”
22:10	Ancu, Shaphan, u scriba, explained to the king, dicendu, “Hilkiah, the priest, gave the book to me.” And when Shaphan had read it before the king,

22:13	“Go and consult the Lord concerning me, and the people, and all of Judah, about the words of this volume which has been found. For the great wrath of the Lord has been kindled against us because our fathers did not listen to the words of this book, so that they would do all that has been written for us.”

23:1	And they reported to the king what she had said. And he sent, and all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem were gathered to him.
23:2	And the king ascended to the temple of the Lord.

23:3	And the king stood upon the step. And he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that they would walk after the Lord, and keep his precepts and testimonies and ceremonies, with all their heart and with all their soul, and so that they would carry out the words of this covenant, which had been written in that book. And the people agreed to the covenant.

U Santu Vangelu secondu Matteu 7: 15-20

7:15	Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
7:16	You shall know them by their fruits. Can grapes be gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
7:17	Allora allora, every good tree produces good fruit, and the evil tree produces evil fruit.
7:18	A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, and an evil tree is not able to produce good fruit.
7:19	Every tree which does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
7:20	Dunque, by their fruits you will know them.
