2 Chronicles 25:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Now after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and [a]worshipped them, and burned incense unto them.
15 Wherefore the Lord was wroth with Amaziah, and sent unto him a Prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought the gods of the people, which were not able to [b]deliver their own people out of thine hand?
16 And as he talked with him, [c]he said unto him, Have they made thee the King’s counselor? cease thou: why should they [d]smite thee? And the Prophet ceased, but said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not obeyed my counsel.
