Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of mySpirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord God.
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying,Not by might, nor by power, but by mySpirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
