¹³ And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets `declare' good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak thou good.

¹¹ He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.

¹¹ If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood do lie, `saying', I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

⁶ Prophesy ye not, `thus' they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.

⁷ Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

¹³ but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.

¹⁴ Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a dresser of sycomore-trees:

¹⁵ and Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

¹⁶ Now therefore hear thou the word of Jehovah: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not `thy word' against the house of Isaac;

¹⁷ therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou thyself shalt die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.

³ They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

¹⁰ that say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits,

¹¹ get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

²¹ These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: `But' I will reprove thee, and set `them' in order before thine eyes.

¹ The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.

¹ In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee `as' a bird to your mountain;

¹⁴ Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.

¹⁵ But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.

¹⁶ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
