He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father had done.

He did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke the word of the Lord. 

the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:

23“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:

“ ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Any of his people among you may go up, and may the Lord their God be with them.’ ”

Lord God my Father,

Keep my close and far from evil desires. Protect and guide my thoughts so my actions please you. Move in my heart and cause me to do boldly your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
