2 Paralipomenon 18:10-17 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

10. And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made him horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.

11. And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, and said: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the king's hand.

12. And the messenger that went to call Micheas, said to him: Behold the words of all the prophets with one mouth declare good to the king: I beseech thee therefore let not thy word disagree with them, and speak thou also good success.

13. And Micheas answered him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever my God shall say to me, that will I speak.

14. So he came to the king: and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or forbear? And he answered him: Go up, for all shall succeed prosperously, and the enemies shall be delivered into your hands.

15. And the king said: I adjure thee again and again to say nothing but the truth to me, in the name of the Lord.

16. Then he said: I saw all Israel scattered in the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no masters: let every man return to his own house in peace.

17. And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee that this man would not prophesy me any good, but evil?
