2 Chronicles 25:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

Amaziah Rebuked for Idolatry

¹⁴ Now after Amaziah came from slaughtering the Edomites, ^(A)he brought the gods of the sons of Seir, set them up as his gods, bowed down before them and burned incense to them. ¹⁵ Then the anger of the Lord burned against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought the gods of the people ^(B)who have not delivered their own people from your hand?” ¹⁶ As he was talking with him, ^[a]the king said to him, “Have we appointed you a royal counselor? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has planned to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
