SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:11

Hijos míos, no os engañéis ahora, porque el SEÑOR os ha escogido a vosotros para que estéis delante de él, y le sirváis, y seáis sus ministros, y le queméis incienso.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. My sons , etc.] So, as the father of his people, he speaks of them in the most tender and affectionate manner: be not now negligent ; backward to this good work, slothful, sluggish, and remiss in it; according to Jarchi and Kimchi, the word has the signification of error, and the sense may be, do not continue in the error in which you have been, in neglecting the service of God: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense ; on the altar of incense, which was the work of the priests, and for which they were selected from the rest of their brethren; and Hezekiah’s discourse was directed to them, as well as to the Levites, ( 2 Chronicles 29:4,5).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-19 - When Hezekiah came to the crown, he applied at once to work reform Those who begin with God, begin at the right end of their work, and it will prosper accordingly. Those that turn their backs upon God' ordinances, may truly be said to forsake God himself. There are stil such neglects, if the word be not duly read and opened, for that wa signified by the lighting the lamps, and also if prayers and praise be not offered up, for that was signified by the burning incense. Neglec of God's worship was the cause of the calamities they had lain under The Lord alone can prepare the heart of man for vital godliness: when much good is done in a little time, the glory must be ascribed to him and all who love him or the souls of men, will rejoice therein. Le those that do good work, learn to do it well.
