¹³ And the messenger who hath gone to call Micaiah hath spoken unto him, saying, `Lo, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, `are' good towards the king; let it be, I pray thee, thy word as the word of one of them -- and thou hast spoken good.'

¹¹ He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'

¹¹ If one is going `with' the wind, And `with' falsehood hath lied: `I prophesy to thee of wine, and of strong drink,' He hath been the prophet of this people!

⁶ Ye do not prophesy -- they do prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It doth not remove shame.

⁷ Doth the house of Jacob say, `Hath the Spirit of Jehovah been shortened? Are these His doings?' Do not My words benefit the people that is walking uprightly?

¹³ and `at' Beth-El do not add to prophesy any more, for it `is' the king's sanctuary, and it `is' the royal house.'

¹⁴ And Amos answereth and saith unto Amaziah, `I `am' no prophet, nor a prophet's son `am' I, but a herdsman I `am', and a cultivator of sycamores,

¹⁵ and Jehovah taketh me from after the flock, and Jehovah saith unto me, Go, prophesy unto My people Israel.

¹⁶ And now, hear a word of Jehovah: thou art saying, Do not prophesy against Israel, nor drop `any thing' against the house of Isaac,

¹⁷ therefore thus said Jehovah: Thy wife in the city doth go a-whoring, And thy sons and thy daughters by sword do fall, And thy land by line is apportioned, And thou on an unclean land diest, And Israel certainly removeth from off its land.'

³ With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their lies -- princes.

¹⁰ Who have said to seers, `Ye do not see,' And to prophets, `Ye do not prophesy to us Straightforward things, Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,

¹¹ Turn aside from the way, decline from the path, Cause to cease from before us the Holy One of Israel.'

²¹ These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

¹ To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

¹ To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved `to' Thy mountain for the bird?

¹⁴ and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know `them', because spiritually they are discerned;

¹⁵ and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

¹⁶ for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we -- we have the mind of Christ.
