2 Samuel 15:31
31And it was told David, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, please aturn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”2 Samuel 17:14
14And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” bFor the Lord had ordained ▼▼Hebrew commanded
to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the Lord might bring harm upon Absalom. 2 Chronicles 25:16
16But as he was speaking, the king said to him, “Have we made you a royal counselor? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but said, “I know that dGod has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”Isaiah 47:10-15
10 You felt secure in your wickedness;you said, “No one sees me”;
your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,
and you said in your heart,
e“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
11But evil shall come upon you,
which you will not know how to charm away;
disaster shall fall upon you,
for which you will not be able to atone;
fand ruin shall come upon you suddenly,
of which you know nothing.
12 gStand fast in your enchantments
and your many sorceries,
with which you have labored from your youth;
perhaps you may be able to succeed;
perhaps you may inspire terror.
13You are wearied with your many counsels;
let them stand forth and save you,
hthose who divide the heavens,
who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you.
14 Behold, ithey are like stubble;
jthe fire consumes them;
they cannot deliver themselves
from the power of the flame.
No coal for warming oneself is this,
no fire to sit before!
15Such to you are those with whom you have labored,
who have done business with you from your youth;
they wander about, each in his own direction;
there is no one to save you.
1 Timothy 6:4
