Soothly the messenger, that went to call Micaiah, spake to him, and said, Lo! the words of the prophets with one mouth preach goods [or good things] to the king; therefore thy word be like them, and speak thou goods.
Therefore the king of Israel gathered together [the] prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, Owe I to go into Ramoth of Gilead to fight, either owe I to rest? Which answered, Go thou up, and the Lord shall give it into the hand of the king.
And I said, A! A! A! Lord God, [the] prophets say to them, Ye shall not see sword, and hunger shall not be in you, but he shall give to you very peace in this place.
They say to them that blaspheme me, The Lord spake, Peace shall be to you; and they said to each man that goeth in the shrewdness of his heart, Evil shall not come [up] on you.
Thy prophets saw to thee false things, and fond [or foolish]; and they opened not thy wickedness, that they should stir thee to penance; but they saw to thee false takings, and castings out.
For that that ye made falsely the heart of a just man to mourn, whom I made not sorry; and ye comforted the hands of a wicked man, that he should not turn again from his evil way, and live.
I would that I were not a man having spirit, and rather that I spake a leasing. I shall drop a word to thee into wine, and into drunkenness; and this people shall be, on whom it is dropped.
For when they shall say peace is, and secureness, then sudden death [or suddenly perishing] shall come on them, as sorrow to a woman that is with child, and they shall not escape.
