Moses answered, "As soon as I leave, I will pray to the LORD that tomorrow the flies will leave you, your officials, and your people. But you must not deceive us again and prevent the people from going to sacrifice to the LORD."

As for me, the LORD forbid that I should sin against him by no longer praying for you. Instead, I will teach you what is good and right for you to do.

My friends, how I wish with all my heart that my own people might be saved! How I pray to God for them!

The prophet who has had a dream should say it is only a dream, but the prophet who has heard my message should proclaim that message faithfully. What good is straw compared with wheat?

But Micaiah answered, "By the living LORD I promise that I will say what he tells me to!"

But Ahab replied, "When you speak to me in the name of the LORD, tell the truth! How many times do I have to tell you that?"

But Micaiah answered, "By the living LORD I will say what my God tells me to!"

But Ahab replied, "When you speak to me in the name of the LORD, tell the truth! How many times do I have to tell you that?"

You will tell them whatever I tell you to say, whether they listen or not. Remember what rebels they are.

"What did the LORD tell you?" Eli asked. "Don't keep anything from me. God will punish you severely if you don't tell me everything he said."

So Samuel told him everything; he did not keep anything back. Eli said, "He is the LORD; he will do whatever seems best to him."

I have not kept the news of salvation to myself; I have always spoken of your faithfulness and help. In the assembly of all your people I have not been silent about your loyalty and constant love.

You know that I did not hold back anything that would be of help to you as I preached and taught in public and in your homes.

For I have not held back from announcing to you the whole purpose of God.
