¹⁶ With him is strength and wisdom; The deceived and the deceiver are his.

⁹ And if the prophet be deceived and speak a word, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

²² And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevail also: go forth, and do so.

²³ Now therefore, behold, Jehovah hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets; and Jehovah hath spoken evil concerning thee.

¹³ With `God' is wisdom and might; He hath counsel and understanding.

⁷ Will ye speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for him?

⁹ Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him?

¹³ And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil `one.'
