Now when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance. My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
Here is another example of the graciousness of our God, who turns away His wrath and shows mercy on His people. He saw their remorse, and that they humbled themselves before the Lord.
That is really the Lord is looking for. Humble yourselves before the Lord, for He is merciful.
