19 Então ele disse: Ouve, pois, a palavra do SENHOR: Eu vi o SENHOR sentado em seu trono, e todo o exército dos céus estava junto a ele, à sua direita e à sua esquerda.
20 E o SENHOR disse: Quem induzirá a Acabe, para que suba e caia em Ramote de Gileade? E um dizia de uma maneira; e outro dizia de outra.
21 E saiu um espírito, e pôs-se diante do SENHOR, e disse: Eu lhe induzirei. E o SENHOR lhe disse: De que maneira?
22 E ele disse: Eu sairei, e serei espírito de mentira em boca de todos seus profetas. E ele disse: induzi-lo-ás, e ainda sairás com ele; sai, pois, e faze-o assim.
23 E agora, eis que o SENHOR pôs espírito de mentira na boca de todos estes teus profetas, e o SENHOR decretou o mal acerca de ti.
