- 先知与王说话的时候,王对他说,谁立你作王的谋士呢。你住口吧。为何找打呢。先知就止住了,又说,你行这事,不听从我的劝戒,我知道神定意要灭你。
- 犹大王亚玛谢与群臣商议,就差遣使者去见耶户的孙子,约哈斯的儿子,以色列王约阿施,说,你来,我们二人相见于战场。
- 以色列王约阿施差遣使者去见犹大王亚玛谢,说,利巴嫩的蒺藜差遣使者去见利巴嫩的香柏树,说,将你的女儿给我儿子为妻。后来利巴嫩有一个野兽经过,把蒺藜践踏了。
- 你说,看哪,我打败了以东人,你就心高气傲,以致矜夸。你在家里安居就吧了,为何要惹祸使自己和犹大国一同败亡呢。
- 亚玛谢却不肯听从。这是出乎神,好将他们交在敌人手里,因为他们寻求以东的神。

- And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
- Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
- And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
- Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
- But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
