So when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door, he said,“ Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why this pretense? I have been sent to you with bad news.

Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door. He said,“ Come in. I know that you are Jeroboam’s wife. Why are you pretending to be someone else? I have some bad news for you.

But when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, he said,“ Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another? For I am charged with unbearable news for you.

So when Ahijah heard her footsteps at the door, he called out,“ Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you pretending to be someone else?” Then he told her,“ I have bad news for you.

When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet entering the door, he said,“ Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you disguised? I have bad news for you.

So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet coming in the doorway, he said,“ Come in, wife of Jeroboam; why do you make yourself unrecognizable? Nevertheless, I am sent to you with a harsh message.

And so it was, when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said,“ Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another person? For I have been sent to you with bad news.

Then Daniel answered the king,“ You may keep your gifts, and give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription for the king and make the interpretation known to him.Your Majesty, the Most High God gave sovereignty, greatness, glory, and majesty to your predecessor Nebuchadnezzar.Because of the greatness He gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages were terrified and fearful of him. He killed anyone he wanted and kept alive anyone he wanted; he exalted anyone he wanted and humbled anyone he wanted.But when his heart was exalted and his spirit became arrogant, he was deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken from him.He was driven away from people, his mind was like an animal’s, he lived with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with dew from the sky until he acknowledged that the Most High God is ruler over the kingdom of men and sets anyone He wants over it.“ But you his successor, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this.Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you and your nobles, wives, and concubines drank wine from them, you praised the gods made of silver and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or understand. But you have not glorified the God who holds your life-breath in His hand and who controls the whole course of your life.Therefore, He sent the hand, and this writing was inscribed.“ This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.This is the interpretation of the message: MENE means that God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end.TEKEL means that you have been weighed in the balance and found deficient.PERES means that your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

He traps the wise in their craftiness so that the plans of the deceptive are quickly brought to an end.

But the Lord had said to Ahijah,“ Jeroboam’s wife is coming soon to ask you about her son, for he is sick. You are to say such and such to her. When she arrives, she will be disguised.”

“ Stop!” exclaimed Samuel.“ Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.”“ Tell me,” he replied.

For the Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”

For when anyone from the house of Israel or from the foreigners who reside in Israel separates himself from Me, setting up idols in his heart and putting a sinful stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me, I, Yahweh, will answer him Myself.I will turn against that one and make him a sign and a proverb; I will cut him off from among My people. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said,“ Belteshazzar, don’t let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.” Belteshazzar answered,“ My lord, may the dream apply to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your enemies!The tree you saw, which grew large and strong, whose top reached to the sky and was visible to all the earth,whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant— and on it was food for all, under it the wild animals lived, and in its branches the birds of the air lived—that tree is you, the king. For you have become great and strong: your greatness has grown and even reaches the sky, and your dominion extends to the ends of the earth.“ The king saw an observer, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying,‘ Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump with its roots in the ground and with a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be drenched with dew from the sky, and share food with the wild animals for seven periods of time.’This is the interpretation, Your Majesty, and this is the sentence of the Most High that has been passed against my lord the king:You will be driven away from people to live with the wild animals. You will feed on grass like cattle and be drenched with dew from the sky for seven periods of time, until you acknowledge that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men, and He gives it to anyone He wants.

They watched closely and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so they could catch Him in what He said, to hand Him over to the governor’s rule and authority.They questioned Him,“ Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You don’t show partiality, but teach truthfully the way of God.Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”But detecting their craftiness, He said to them,

The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,“ There is still one man who can ask Yahweh, but I hate him because he never prophesies good about me, but only disaster. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.”“ The king shouldn’t say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.

Then Peter said,“ Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the proceeds from the field?Wasn’t it yours while you possessed it? And after it was sold, wasn’t it at your disposal? Why is it that you planned this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God!”When he heard these words, Ananias dropped dead, and a great fear came on all who heard.

“ Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and have put sinful stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I be consulted by them at all?“ Therefore, speak to them and tell them: This is what the Lord God says: When anyone from the house of Israel sets up idols in his heart, puts a sinful stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet, I, Yahweh, will answer him appropriately. I will answer him according to his many idols,so that I may take hold of the house of Israel by their hearts. They are all estranged from Me because of their idols.

“ Ask the Lord on our behalf, since Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is making war against us. Perhaps the Lord will perform for us something like all His past wonderful works so that Nebuchadnezzar will withdraw from us.”But Jeremiah answered,“ This is what you are to say to Zedekiah:‘ This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I will repel the weapons of war in your hands, those you are using to fight the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are besieging you outside the wall, and I will bring them into the center of this city.I will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm, with anger, rage, and great wrath.I will strike the residents of this city, both man and beast. They will die in a great plague.Afterward’”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“‘ King Zedekiah of Judah, his officers, and the people— those in this city who survive the plague, the sword, and the famine— I will hand over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, to their enemies, yes, to those who want to take their lives. He will put them to the sword; he won’t spare them or show pity or compassion.’

The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you must say to them,‘ This is what the Lord God says.’Whether they listen or refuse to listen— for they are a rebellious house— they will know that a prophet has been among them.

The prophet said to him,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Because you released from your hand the man I had set apart for destruction, it will be your life in place of his life and your people in place of his people.’”

“ Get up and go to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria. You’ll find him in Naboth’s vineyard, where he has gone to take possession of it.Tell him,‘ This is what the Lord says: Have you murdered and also taken possession?’ Then tell him,‘ This is what the Lord says: In the place where the dogs licked Naboth’s blood, the dogs will also lick your blood!’”Ahab said to Elijah,“ So, you have caught me, my enemy.” He replied,“ I have caught you because you devoted yourself to do what is evil in the Lord’s sight.This is what the Lord says:‘ I am about to bring disaster on you and will sweep away your descendants: I will eliminate all of Ahab’s males, both slave and free, in Israel;I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked My anger and caused Israel to sin.The Lord also speaks of Jezebel: The dogs will eat Jezebel in the plot of land at Jezreel:He who belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and he who dies in the field, the birds of the sky will eat.’”

Because of all this, I am about to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam: I will eliminate all of Jeroboam’s males, both slave and free, in Israel; I will sweep away the house of Jeroboam as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone!Anyone who belongs to Jeroboam and dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and anyone who dies in the field, the birds of the sky will eat, for the Lord has said it!’

Jeroboam said to his wife,“ Go disguise yourself, so they won’t know that you’re Jeroboam’s wife, and go to Shiloh. Ahijah the prophet is there; it was he who told about me becoming king over this people.

The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations; He thwarts the plans of the peoples.

Then Peter said to her,“ Why did you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”Instantly she dropped dead at his feet. When the young men came in, they found her dead, carried her out, and buried her beside her husband.

No creature is hidden from Him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give an account.

You did not obey the Lord and did not carry out His burning anger against Amalek; therefore the Lord has done this to you today.

Samuel replied to Saul,“ I will not return with you. Because you rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.”

While they were sitting at the table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had brought him back,and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Because you rebelled against the command of the Lord and did not keep the command that the Lord your God commanded you—but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place that He said to you,“ Do not eat bread and do not drink water”— your corpse will never reach the grave of your fathers.’”
