12 Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs, and say good things.
Came together with one purpose, to make war against Joshua and Israel.
And you say, What knowledge has God? is he able to give decisions through the deep dark?
Who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Do not give us word of what is true, but say false things to give us pleasure:
In their sin they make a king for themselves, and rulers in their deceit.
Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!
If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.
For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit. But he who has the Spirit, though judging all things, is himself judged by no one. For who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord, so as to be his teacher? But we have the mind of Christ.
