So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for Yahweh shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
And he said unto him, Thus saith Yahweh, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the elohim of Ekron, is it not because there is no Elohim in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? He shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
Thus hath the Sovereign Yahweh shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
Thus hath the Sovereign Yahweh shewed unto me: and, behold, the Sovereign Yahweh called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
