And the king hearkened not to the people, because the change was from the Lord, that He might establish His word which He spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

And now, let my lord the king hear the word of his servant: if God stirs you up against me, let your offering be acceptable; but if [it is] the children of men, [may] they be cursed before the Lord, for they have cast me out this day, so that I should not be established in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods.

And the Lord caused His anger to burn forth again in Israel, and [Satan] stirred up David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah.

And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, and carried away Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, and to the river of Gozan, until this day.

Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of My wrath and anger are in their hands.

And God will stir up [enemies] against them, according to the stroke of Midian in the place of affliction; and His wrath shall be by the way of the sea, [even] to the way that leads to Egypt.

Behold, I will stir up the Medes against you, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold.

I will be to him a father, and he shall be to Me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.

If his children should forsake My law, and walk not in My judgments;

I will visit their transgressions with a rod, and their sins with scourges.

Neither will I by any means profane My covenant; and I will not make void the things that proceed out of My lips.
