2 Chronicles 15:5

3 For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a priest to instruct them, and without the law.

4 But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, and He was found by them.

In those days there was no safety for travelers, because the residents of the lands had many conflicts.

6 Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God afflicted them with all kinds of adversity.

7 But as for you, be strong; do not be discouraged, for your work will be rewarded.”
