And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, say; Thus says the Lord: Thus have you said, O house of Israel: and I know the devices of your spirit.

Thus says the Lord God: It shall also come to pass in that day, that thoughts shall rise up into your heart, and you shall devise an evil plan.

You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thoughts long before.

[There are] many thoughts in a man's heart, but the counsel of the Lord abides forever.

Who has thus spoken, and it has come to pass? The Lord has not commanded it.

and they said to him, Behold, you have grown old, and your sons walk not in your ways. And now set over us a king to judge us, as also the other nations have.

For we will surely perform every word that shall proceed out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, and our kings and princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem. And [so] we were filled with bread, and were well, and saw no evils.

And this [shall be] a sign to you, that I will visit you for evil.

And do not fashion yourselves after this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and well pleasing and perfect will of God.

And there you shall serve other gods, the works of the hands of men, wood and stones, which cannot see, nor can they hear, nor eat, nor smell.

The Lord shall carry away you and your princes, whom you shall set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers know; and there shall you serve other gods, [of] wood and stone.

And the Lord your God shall scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other; and there you shall serve other gods [of] wood and stone, which you knew not, nor your fathers.

And you beheld their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which are among them.

and have cast their idols into the fire; for they were not gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have cast them away.

They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of iron, and of wood, and of stone.

But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent from the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and of wood, which neither are able to see nor to hear nor to walk.
