“ For His eyes are upon the ways of a person, And He sees all his steps.

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who live on it worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the presence of people.And he deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who* had the wound of the sword and has come to life.

The statutes of Omri And every work of the house of Ahab are maintained, And you walk by their plans. Therefore I will give you up for destruction, And your inhabitants for derision, And you will suffer the taunting of My people.”

Ephraim is oppressed, broken by judgment, Because he was determined to follow man’s command.

So the king consulted, and he made two golden calves; and he said to the people,“ It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold your gods, Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt.”And he set up one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked person rules, people groan.A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad, But he who involves himself with prostitutes wastes his wealth.The king gives stability to the land by justice, But a person who takes bribes ruins it.A man who flatters his neighbor Is spreading a net for his steps.By wrongdoing an evil person is ensnared, But the righteous sings and rejoices.The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor; The wicked does not understand such concern.Arrogant people inflame a city, But wise people turn away anger.When a wise person has a controversy with a foolish person, The foolish person either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.People of bloodshed hate the blameless person, But the upright are concerned for his life.A fool always loses his temper, But a wise person holds it back.If a ruler pays attention to falsehood, All his ministers become wicked.

The wicked strut about on every side When vileness is exalted among the sons of mankind.

I saw one of his heads as if it had been fatally wounded, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast;they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying,“ Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?”

But they did not listen, and Manasseh encouraged them to do evil, more than the nations whom the Lord eliminated from the presence of the sons of Israel.

I gave you a king in My anger, And took him away in My wrath.

who opposes and exalts himself above every so called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?And you know what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time.For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is removed.Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and false signs and wonders,and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved.For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,

Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
