¹⁶ With him are strength and wise designs; he who is guided into error, together with his guide, are in his hands;

⁹ And if the prophet, tricked by deceit, says anything, it is I the Lord by whom he has been tricked, and I will put out my hand against him, and he will be cut off from among my people Israel.

²² And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

²³ And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.

¹³ With him there is wisdom and strength; power and knowledge are his.

⁷ Will you say in God's name what is not right, and put false words into his mouth?

⁹ Will it be good for you to be searched out by him, or have you the thought that he may be guided into error like a man?

¹³ And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.
