2 Chronicles 25:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Infidelity of Amaziah. On his return from his slaughter of the Edomites, Amaziah brought back with him the gods of the people of Seir. He set them up as his own gods, bowed down before them, and burned sacrifices to them. ¹⁵ As a result, the Lord’s anger was aroused by Amaziah, and he sent him a prophet who said to him: “Why have you resorted to gods who could not save their own people from your clutches?”

¹⁶ While he was still speaking, however, the king said to him: “Have we appointed you as a royal counselor? Stop right now, if you value your life!” Therefore the prophet stopped, but first he said: “I know that God has decided to destroy you for having done this and for not listening to my advice.”
