And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
But as he was speaking, the king said to him: Have we made you a royal counselor? Stop! Why should you be struck down? So the prophet stopped, but said: I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.
