"But he forsookª°¹ the counselª which¹ the old menª gaveª° him, and took counselª° with¹ the young menª that¹ were brought upª° with¹ him, that stoodª° beforeª him." {2Ch 10:8} + "Wherefore the angerª of the LORDª was kindledª° against Amaziah,ª and he sentª° unto¹ him a prophet,ª which saidª° unto him, Why¹ hast thou sought²° after¹¹ the godsª of the people,ª which¹ could not¹ deliverª°¹ their own peopleª out of thine hand?ª¹ ... And it came to pass,¹ as he talkedª° with¹ him, that [the king] saidª° unto him, Art thou madeª° of the king'sª counsel?ª° forbear;ª° why¹ shouldest thou be smitten?ª° Then the prophetª forbare,ª° and said,ª° I knowª° that¹ Godª hath determinedª° to destroyª° thee, because¹ thou hast doneª° this,¹ and hast not¹ hearkenedª° unto my counsel.ª" {2Ch 25:15-16} + "To knowª° wisdomª and instruction;ª to perceiveª° the wordsª of understanding;ª ...
