1 Kings 22:15
15And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we refrain?” And he answered him, “Go up and triumph; the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”2 Chronicles 25:8
8But go, act, be strong for the battle. Why should you suppose that God will cast you down before the enemy? aFor God has power to help or to cast down.”Ecclesiastes 11:9
9 bRejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. cWalk in the ways of your heart and dthe sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things eGod will bring you into judgment.Isaiah 8:9-10
9 Be broken, ▼▼Or Be evil
you peoples, and gbe shattered; ▼▼Or dismayed
give ear, all you far countries;
strap on your armor and be shattered;
strap on your armor and be shattered.
10Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
speak a word, ibut it will not stand,
for God jis with us. ▼
▼The Hebrew for God is with us is Immanuel
Isaiah 44:15-17
15Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it. 16Half of it he burns in the fire. Over the half he eats meat; he roasts it and is satisfied. Also he warms himself and says, “Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire!” 17And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. lHe prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”Ezekiel 20:39
39“As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord God: mGo serve every one of you his idols, now and hereafter, if you will not listen to me; nbut my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts and your idols.
