彼之所為、耶和華示我、我悉知之、

耶利米曰、民謀害予、乃蒙耶和華默示、俾我灼知、

先知曰、彼所欲為、主已示我、主既示我、則我悉知、

Because the Lord revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing.

The Lord told me about the evil plans of my enemies. That’s how I knew about them. He showed me what they were doing.

The Lord made it known to me and I knew; then you showed me their deeds.

The LORD informed me, so I knew. Then you helped me to see their deeds,

Moreover, the Lord made it known to me and I knew it; Then You showed me their deeds.

Now the Lord gave me knowledge of it, and I know it; for You showed me their doings.

And Jehovah gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then thou showedst me their doings.

The Lord informed me, so I knew. Then You helped me to see their deeds,

And the LORD hath given me knowledge[ of it], and I know[ it]: then thou shewedst me their doings.

The LORD gave me knowledge, that I might have understanding. Then he showed me what the people were doing.

Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings.

Will the leaders of Keilah betray me to him? And will Saul actually come as I have heard? O Lord, God of Israel, please tell me.” And the Lord said,“ He will come.”Again David asked,“ Will the leaders of Keilah betray me and my men to Saul?” And the Lord replied,“ Yes, they will betray you.”

But immediately Elisha, the man of God, would warn the king of Israel,“ Do not go near that place, for the Arameans are planning to mobilize their troops there.”So the king of Israel would send word to the place indicated by the man of God. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he would be on the alert there.

“ Son of man,” he said,“ do you see what they are doing? Do you see the detestable sins the people of Israel are committing to drive me from my Temple? But come, and you will see even more detestable sins than these!”Then he brought me to the door of the Temple courtyard, where I could see a hole in the wall.He said to me,“ Now, son of man, dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and found a hidden doorway.“ Go in,” he said,“ and see the wicked and detestable sins they are committing in there!”So I went in and saw the walls covered with engravings of all kinds of crawling animals and detestable creatures. I also saw the various idols worshiped by the people of Israel.Seventy leaders of Israel were standing there with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan in the center. Each of them held an incense burner, from which a cloud of incense rose above their heads.Then the Lord said to me,“ Son of man, have you seen what the leaders of Israel are doing with their idols in dark rooms? They are saying,‘ The Lord doesn’t see us; he has deserted our land!’”Then the Lord added,“ Come, and I will show you even more detestable sins than these!”He brought me to the north gate of the Lord’s Temple, and some women were sitting there, weeping for the god Tammuz.“ Have you seen this?” he asked.“ But I will show you even more detestable sins than these!”Then he brought me into the inner courtyard of the Lord’s Temple. At the entrance to the sanctuary, between the entry room and the bronze altar, there were about twenty five men with their backs to the sanctuary of the Lord. They were facing east, bowing low to the ground, worshiping the sun!“ Have you seen this, son of man?” he asked.“ Is it nothing to the people of Judah that they commit these detestable sins, leading the whole nation into violence, thumbing their noses at me, and provoking my anger?Therefore, I will respond in fury. I will neither pity nor spare them. And though they cry for mercy, I will not listen.”

“ But,” someone might still argue,“ how can God condemn me as a sinner if my dishonesty highlights his truthfulness and brings him more glory?”

So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround the city.When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere.“ Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha.“ Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him.“ For there are more on our side than on theirs!”Then Elisha prayed,“ O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.As the Aramean army advanced toward him, Elisha prayed,“ O Lord, please make them blind.” So the Lord struck them with blindness as Elisha had asked.Then Elisha went out and told them,“ You have come the wrong way! This isn’t the right city! Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are looking for.” And he led them to the city of Samaria.As soon as they had entered Samaria, Elisha prayed,“ O Lord, now open their eyes and let them see.” So the Lord opened their eyes, and they discovered that they were in the middle of Samaria.

I was like a lamb being led to the slaughter. I had no idea that they were planning to kill me!“ Let’s destroy this man and all his words,” they said.“ Let’s cut him down, so his name will be forgotten forever.”

If anyone asks what you are doing, just say,‘ The Lord needs them,’ and he will immediately let you take them.”
