And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.
With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
He that speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
For truly my words shall not be false: he that is blameless in knowledge is with you.
Remember, I pray you, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
