2 Chronicles 18:18-24

18And Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: aI 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 ba 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.”

23Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near cand struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, “Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go from me to speak to you?” 24And Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.”

Israel’s Irresponsible Leaders

9 fAll you beasts of the field, come to devour
all you beasts in the forest.
10 gHis watchmen are blind;
they are all without knowledge;
they are all silent hdogs;
they cannot bark,
dreaming, lying down,
loving to slumber.
11 iThe dogs have a mighty appetite;
they never have enough.
But jthey are shepherds who have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way,
keach to his own gain, one and all.
12 lCome,” they say, “let me get wine;
let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
mand tomorrow will be like this day,
great beyond measure.”

31 nthe prophets prophesy falsely,
and the priests rule at their direction;
omy people love to have it so,
but what will you do when the end comes?

9And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, pI, 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. 10And they shall bear their punishment
Or iniquity; three times in this verse
—the punishment of the prophet and the punishment of the inquirer shall be alike—
