⁴ O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

¹⁵ Take us the foxes, the little foxes, That spoil the vineyards; For our vineyards are in blossom.

¹¹ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

¹² And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed.

¹³ And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.

¹⁴ And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the sword and lived.

¹⁰ For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,

¹¹ whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

¹² One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.

¹³ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.

¹⁴ And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.

¹⁵ It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁸ For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

¹⁵ Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

⁵ Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him:

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.

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone:
