¹¹ Now there lived an old prophet in Bethel; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken to the king, them also they told to their father.

¹⁸ He said, Let him be; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.

¹⁶ but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with man's voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

⁵ (but if a man doesn't know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?)

²² Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'

¹⁶ [to wit], the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, says the Lord Yahweh.

² Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say you to those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear you the word of Yahweh:

²⁵ Behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.

²⁰ It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who brought him back;

²¹ and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, Thus says Yahweh, Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh, and have not kept the commandment which Yahweh your God commanded you,

¹¹ It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

² Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.

⁴ God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

⁵ Yahweh put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.
