Then they said to him,“ Please inquire of God to learn whether our journey will be successful.”

And they said to him,“ Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether the journey on which we are setting out will succeed.”

Then they said,“ Ask God whether or not our journey will be successful.”

Then they said to him,“ Please inquire of God for us to determine if we will have a successful journey.”

Then they said to him,“ Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether our way on which we are going will be successful.”

Jehoshaphat continued,“ First ask the Lord for advice.”

Micah said,“ Now I know that the Lord will be good to me. This Levite has become my priest.”

The king of Babylon will stop at the place where the two roads meet. He will look for a special sign. He will cast lots by pulling arrows out of a bag. He will ask his gods for advice. And he will look carefully at the liver of a sheep.

And all the people listened to him, from the least important of them to the most important. They exclaimed,“ It is right to call this man the Great Power of God!”

That same Micah had a small temple. He made a sacred linen apron and some statues of his family gods. He appointed one of his sons to serve as his priest.

Then the five men who had looked over the land of Laish spoke to the other members of their tribe. They said,“ Don’t you know that one of these houses has a sacred linen apron in it? Some statues of family gods are there. That house also has another statue of a god covered with silver. Now you know what to do.”

“ How terrible it will be for these stubborn children of mine!” announces the Lord.“ How terrible for those who carry out plans that did not come from me! Their agreement with Egypt did not come from my Spirit. So they pile up one sin on top of another.

My people ask a wooden statue of a god for advice. They get answers from a stick of wood. They are as unfaithful as prostitutes. They are not faithful to their God.

Then King Ahaz gave orders to Uriah the priest. He said,“ Offer sacrifices on the large new altar. Offer the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering.

Splash against this altar the blood from all the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to look for advice and direction.”
