And Ahab H256 said H559 to Elijah, H452 Have you found H4672 me, O my enemy? H341 And he answered, H559 I have found H4672 you: because H3282 you have sold H4376 yourself to work H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD. H3068

Then Asa H609 was wroth H3707 with the seer, H7200 and put H5414 him in a prison H4115 house; H1004 for he was in a rage H2197 with him because H5921 of this H2063 thing. And Asa H609 oppressed H7533 some of the people H5971 the same H1931 time. H6256

And the king H4428 of Israel H3478 said H559 to Jehoshaphat, H3092 There is yet H5750 one H259 man, H376 by whom we may inquire H1875 of the LORD: H3068 but I hate H8130 him; for he never H369 prophesied H5012 good H2896 to me, but always H3605 H3117 evil: H7451 the same H1931 is Micaiah H4321 the son H1121 of Imla. H3229 And Jehoshaphat H3092 said, H559 Let not the king H4428 say H559 so. H3651

And the king H4428 of Israel H3478 and Jehoshaphat H3092 king H4428 of Judah H3063 sat H3427 either H376 of them on H5921 his throne, H3678 clothed H3847 in their robes, H899 and they sat H3427 in a void H1637 place at the entering H6607 in of the gate H8179 of Samaria; H8111 and all H3605 the prophets H5030 prophesied H5012 before H6440 them.

And all H3605 the prophets H5030 prophesied H5012 so, H3651 saying, H559 Go H5927 up to Ramothgilead, H7433 and prosper: H6743 for the LORD H3068 shall deliver H5414 it into the hand H3027 of the king. H4428

And Micaiah H4321 said, H559 As the LORD H3068 lives, H2416 even H3588 what H853 H834 my God H430 said, H559 that will I speak. H1696

And the king H4428 said H559 to him, How H5704 many times H6471 shall I adjure H7650 you that you say H559 nothing H3808 but the truth H571 to me in the name H8034 of the LORD? H3068

And the king H4428 of Israel H3478 said H559 to Jehoshaphat, H3092 Did I not tell H559 you that he would not prophesy H5012 good H2896 to me, but evil? H7451

And the LORD H3068 said, H559 Who H4310 shall entice H6601 Ahab king H4428 of Israel, H3478 that he may go H5927 up and fall H5307 at Ramothgilead? H7433 And one spoke H559 saying H559 after H3602 this H3602 manner, H3541 and another H2088 saying H559 after H3602 that manner.

And he said, H559 I will go H3318 out, and be a lying H8267 spirit H7307 in the mouth H6310 of all H3605 his prophets. H5030 And the Lord said, H559 You shall entice H6601 him, and you shall also H1571 prevail: H3201 go H3318 out, and do H6213 even so. H3651

Then Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 of Chenaanah H3668 came H5066 near, H5066 and smote H5221 Micaiah H4321 on the cheek, H3895 and said, H559 Which H335 H2088 way H1870 went H5674 the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 from me to speak H1696 to you?

Then the king H4428 of Israel H3478 said, H559 Take H3947 you Micaiah, H4321 and carry H7725 him back H7725 to Amon H526 the governor H8269 of the city, H5892 and to Joash H3101 the king's H4428 son; H1121

And Micaiah H4321 said, H559 If H518 you certainly return H7725 in peace, H7965 then has not the LORD H3068 spoken H1696 by me. And he said, H559 Listen, H8085 all H3605 you people. H5971

Yet he sent H7971 prophets H5030 to them, to bring H7725 them again H7725 to the LORD; H3068 and they testified H5749 against them: but they would not give ear. H238

And they conspired H7194 against H5921 him, and stoned H7275 him with stones H68 at the commandment H4687 of the king H4428 in the court H2691 of the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068

And it came H1961 to pass, as he talked H1696 with him, that the king said H559 to him, Are you made H5414 of the king's H4428 counsel? H3289 forbear; H2308 why H4100 should you be smitten? H5221 Then the prophet H5030 declined, H2308 and said, H559 I know H3045 that God H430 has determined H3289 to destroy H7843 you, because H3588 you have done H6213 this, H2063 and have not listened H8085 to my counsel. H6098

The prophets H5030 prophesy H5012 falsely, H8267 and the priests H3548 bear H7287 rule H7287 by their means; H3027 and my people H5971 love H157 to have it so: H3651 and what H4100 will you do H6213 in the end H319 thereof?

Therefore H3651 thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of the men H582 of Anathoth, H6068 that seek H1245 your life, H5315 saying, H559 Prophesy H5012 not in the name H8034 of the LORD, H3068 that you die H4191 not by our hand: H3027

Then spoke H559 the priests H3548 and the prophets H5030 to the princes H8269 and to all H3605 the people, H5971 saying, H559 This H2088 man H376 is worthy to die; H4194 for he has prophesied H5012 against H413 this H2063 city, H5892 as you have heard H8085 with your ears. H241

And there was also H1571 a man H376 that prophesied H5012 in the name H8034 of the LORD, H3068 Urijah H223 the son H1121 of Shemaiah H8098 of Kirjathjearim, H7157 who prophesied H5012 against H5921 this H2063 city H5892 and against H5921 this H2063 land H776 according to all H3605 the words H1697 of Jeremiah. H3414

And Jehoiakim H3079 the king H4428 sent H7971 men H582 into Egypt, H4714 namely, Elnathan H494 the son H1121 of Achbor, H5907 and certain men H582 with him into H413 Egypt. H4714

Now H6258 therefore why H4100 have you not reproved H1605 Jeremiah H3414 of Anathoth, H6068 which makes himself a prophet H5012 to you?

Therefore the princes H8269 said H559 to the king, H4428 We beseech H4994 you, let this H2088 man H376 be put to death: H4191 for thus H5921 H3651 he weakens H7503 the hands H3027 of the men H582 of war H4421 that remain H7604 in this H2063 city, H5892 and the hands H3027 of all H3605 the people, H5971 in speaking H1696 such H428 words H1697 to them: for this H2088 man H376 seeks H1875 not the welfare H7965 of this H2088 people, H5971 but the hurt. H7451

But you gave the Nazarites H5139 wine H3196 to drink; H8248 and commanded H6680 the prophets, H5030 saying, H559 Prophesy H5012 not.

But prophesy H5012 not again H3254 any more H5750 at Bethel: H1008 for it is the king's H4428 chapel, H4720 and it is the king's H4467 court. H1004

Prophesy H5197 you not, say they to them that prophesy: H5197 they shall not prophesy H5197 to them, that they shall not take H5253 shame. H3639

But that it spread G1268 no G3361 further G1909 G4118 among G1519 the people, G2992 let us straightly G547 threaten G546 them, that they speak G2980 from now on G3371 to no G3367 man G444 in this G5129 name. G3686

Saying, G3004 Did not we straightly command G3853 you that you should not teach G1321 in this G5129 name? G3686 and, behold, G2400 you have filled G4137 Jerusalem G2419 with your G5216 doctrine, G1322 and intend G1014 to bring G1863 this G5127 man's G444 blood G129 on us.

Who G3588 both G2532 killed G615 the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 and their own G2398 prophets, G4396 and have persecuted G1559 us; and they please G700 not God, G2316 and are contrary G1727 to all G3956 men: G444

Forbidding G2967 us to speak G2980 to the Gentiles G1484 that they might be saved, G4982 to fill G378 up their sins G266 always: G104 for the wrath G3709 is come G5348 on them to the uttermost. G5056

And when G3752 they shall have finished G5055 their testimony, G3141 the beast G2342 that ascends G305 out of the bottomless G12 pit shall make G4160 war G4171 against G3326 them, and shall overcome G3528 them, and kill G615 them.

And the king H4428 of Israel H3478 said H559 to Jehoshaphat, H3092 There is yet H3588 one H259 man, H376 Micaiah H4321 the son H1121 of Imlah, H3229 by whom we may inquire H1875 of the LORD: H3068 but I hate H8130 him; for he does not prophesy H5012 good H2896 concerning H5921 me, but evil. H7451 And Jehoshaphat H3092 said, H559 Let not the king H4428 say H559 so. H3651

And the king H4428 of Israel H3478 and Jehoshaphat H3092 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 sat H3427 each H376 on H5921 his throne, H3678 having put H3847 on their robes, H899 in a void H1637 place H4725 in the entrance H6607 of the gate H8179 of Samaria; H8111 and all H3605 the prophets H5030 prophesied H5012 before H6440 them.

And all H3605 the prophets H5030 prophesied H5012 so, H3651 saying, H559 Go H5927 up to Ramothgilead, H7433 and prosper: H6743 for the LORD H3068 shall deliver H5414 it into the king's H4428 hand. H3027

For from the least H6996 of them even to the greatest H1419 of them every H3605 one is given to covetousness; H1215 and from the prophet H5030 even to the priest H3548 every H3605 one deals H6213 falsely. H8267

They have healed H7495 also the hurt H7667 of the daughter of my people H5971 slightly, H7043 saying, H559 Peace, H7965 peace; H7965 when there is no H369 peace. H7965

Therefore H3651 will I give H5414 their wives H802 to others, H312 and their fields H7704 to them that shall inherit H3423 them: for every H3605 one from the least H6996 even to the greatest H1419 is given to covetousness, H1215 from the prophet H5030 even to the priest H3548 every H3605 one deals H6213 falsely. H8267

For they have healed H7495 the hurt H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971 slightly, H7043 saying, H559 Peace, H7965 peace; H7965 when there is no H369 peace. H7965

They say H559 still to them that despise H5006 me, The LORD H3068 has said, H1696 You shall have H1961 peace; H7965 and they say H559 to every H3605 one that walks H1980 after the imagination H8307 of his own heart, H3820 No H3808 evil H7451 shall come H935 on you.

How H5704 long H5704 shall this be in the heart H3820 of the prophets H5030 that prophesy H5012 lies? H8267 yes, they are prophets H5030 of the deceit H8649 of their own heart; H3820

The prophet H5030 that has a dream, H2472 let him tell H5608 a dream; H2472 and he that has my word, H1697 let him speak H1696 my word H1697 faithfully. H571 What H4100 is the chaff H8401 to the wheat? H1250 said H5002 the LORD. H3068

Have you not seen H2372 a vain H7723 vision, H4236 and have you not spoken H1696 a lying H3577 divination, H4738 whereas you say, H559 The LORD H3068 said H5002 it; albeit I have not spoken? H559

And my hand H3027 shall be on the prophets H5030 that see H2374 vanity, H7723 and that divine H7080 lies: H3576 they shall not be in the assembly H5475 of my people, H5971 neither H3808 shall they be written H3789 in the writing H3791 of the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 neither H3808 shall they enter H935 into the land H127 of Israel; H3478 and you shall know H3045 that I am the Lord H136 GOD. H3069

And say, H559 Thus H3541 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Woe H1945 to the women that sew H8609 pillows H3704 to all H3605 armholes, H679 H3027 and make H6213 kerchiefs H4555 on the head H7218 of every H3605 stature H6967 to hunt H6679 souls! H5315 Will you hunt H6679 the souls H5315 of my people, H5971 and will you save H2421 the souls H5315 alive H2421 that come to you?

Why H3651 thus H3541 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Behold, H2005 I am against H413 your pillows, H3704 with which H834 you there H8033 hunt H6679 the souls H5315 to make them fly, H6524 and I will tear H7167 them from your arms, H2220 and will let the souls H5315 go, H7971 even the souls H5315 that you hunt H6679 to make them fly. H6524

Because H3282 with lies H3576 you have made the heart H3820 of the righteous H6662 sad, H3512 whom I have not made sad; H3510 and strengthened H2388 the hands H3027 of the wicked, H7451 that he should not return H7725 from his wicked H7563 way, H1870 by promising H2421 him life: H2421

If H3863 a man H376 walking H1980 in the spirit H7307 and falsehood H8267 do lie, H3576 saying, I will prophesy H5197 to you of wine H3196 and of strong H7941 drink; H7941 he shall even be the prophet H5197 of this H2088 people. H5971

The world G2889 cannot G3756 G1410 hate G3404 you; but me it hates, G3404 because G3754 I testify G3140 of it, that the works G2041 thereof G3012 G846 are evil. G4190

And because G3754 I tell G3004 you the truth, G225 you believe G4100 me not.

For they that are such G5108 serve G1398 not our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 but their own G1438 belly; G2836 and by good G5542 words G5542 and fair G2129 speeches G2129 deceive G1818 the hearts G2588 of the simple. G172

Am I therefore G5620 become G1096 your G5216 enemy, G2190 because I tell G226 you the truth? G226
