12 And as soon as it caused him distress,+ he softened the face of Jehovah his God+ and kept humbling+ himself greatly because of the God of his forefathers.

27 for the reason that your heart+ was soft so that you humbled+ yourself because of God* at your hearing his words concerning this place and its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before me+ and ripped+ your garments apart and wept before me, I, even I, have heard,+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

19 Did Hez·e·kiʹah the king of Judah and all those of Judah by any means put him to death? Did he not fear Jehovah and proceed to soften the face of Jehovah,+ so that Jehovah got to feeling regret for the calamity that he had spoken against them?+ So we are working up a great calamity against our souls.*+
