¹² The hater of authority has no love for teaching: he will not go to the wise.

¹⁰ They have hate for him who makes protest against evil in the public place, and he whose words are upright is disgusting to them.

⁷ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, but I have no love for him, because he has never been a prophet of good to me, but only of evil: he is Micaiah, the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
