21 Et un esprit vint se présenter devant l’Éternel, et dit: Moi, je le séduirai. L’Éternel lui dit: Comment?
22 Je sortirai, répondit-il, et je serai un esprit de mensonge dans la bouche de tous ses prophètes. L’Éternel dit: Tu le séduiras, et tu en viendras à bout; sors, et fais ainsi!
23 Et maintenant, voici, l’Éternel a mis un esprit de mensonge dans la bouche de tous tes prophètes qui sont là. Et l’Éternel a prononcé du mal contre toi.
24 Alors Sédécias, fils de Kenaana, s’étant approché, frappa Michée sur la joue, et dit: Par où l’esprit de l’Éternel est-il sorti de moi pour te parler?
25 Michée répondit: Tu le verras au jour où tu iras de chambre en chambre pour te cacher.
