For the king of Babylon will stop at the fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen: He will cast lots with arrows, he will consult his idols, he will examine the liver.

The king of Babylon will stop at the place where the two roads meet. He will look for a special sign. He will cast lots by pulling arrows out of a bag. He will ask his gods for advice. And he will look carefully at the liver of a sheep.

For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shakes the arrows; he consults the teraphim; he looks at the liver.

The king of Babylon now stands at the fork, uncertain whether to attack Jerusalem or Rabbah. He calls his magicians to look for omens. They cast lots by shaking arrows from the quiver. They inspect the livers of animal sacrifices.

For the king of Babylon stands at the split in the road, at the fork of the two roads, to practice divination: he shakes the arrows, consults the idols, and observes the liver.

The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.

When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household gods.

The priest was very pleased. He took the ephod, the household gods and the idol and went along with the people.

Now you have gone off because you longed to return to your father’s household. But why did you steal my gods?”

Now this man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and some household gods and installed one of his sons as his priest.

The idols speak deceitfully, diviners see visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep oppressed for lack of a shepherd.

In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.

There is no divination against Jacob, no evil omens against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel,‘ See what God has done!’

When the five men went into Micah’s house and took the idol, the ephod and the household gods, the priest said to them,“ What are you doing?”

Furthermore, Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists, the household gods, the idols and all the other detestable things seen in Judah and Jerusalem. This he did to fulfill the requirements of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the temple of the Lord.

My people consult a wooden idol, and a diviner’s rod speaks to them. A spirit of prostitution leads them astray; they are unfaithful to their God.

And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, overlooking the wasteland.

For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.”

Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune- telling.

Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,

Then the five men who had spied out the land of Laish said to their fellow Danites,“ Do you know that one of these houses has an ephod, some household gods and an image overlaid with silver? Now you know what to do.”

He replied,“ You took the gods I made, and my priest, and went away. What else do I have? How can you ask,‘ What’s the matter with you?’”

For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or household gods.

The elders of Moab and Midian left, taking with them the fee for divination. When they came to Balaam, they told him what Balak had said.

The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth does not betray justice.
