2 Kronieken 16:9

Want de ogen van Jahweh doorvorsen de gehele aarde, om hen te helpen, wier hart onverdeeld op Hem is gericht. Gij hebt hiermede dwaas gehandeld; en van nu af aan zult ge oorlogen moeten voeren.

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.
