18And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, a“Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?” 19And Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: bI saw the Lord sitting on his throne, cand all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left; 20and the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one said one thing, and another said another. 21Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, ‘I will entice him.’ 22And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’ And he said, ‘I will go out, and will be da lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.’

18And Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: eI saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 19And the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab the king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one said one thing, and another said another. 20Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, ‘I will entice him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’ 21And he said, ‘I will go out, and will be fa lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.’ 22Now therefore behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets. The Lord has declared disaster concerning you.”

Isaiah 6:9-10

9And he said, “Go, and say to this people:

g“‘Keep on hearing, ▼
▼Or Hear indeed
 but do not understand;
keep on seeing, ▼
▼Or see indeed
 but do not perceive.’
 10 jMake the heart of this people kdull, ▼
▼Hebrew fat

and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
mlest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”

Ezekiel 14:9

9And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, nI, the Lord, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
