After the death of Jehoiada the priest, the leaders of Judah went to Joash and talked him into doing what they wanted.

I know how rebellious you are. You are impossible to deal with. While I am alive and still with you, you are rebelling against Jehovah. How much more rebellious will you be after I die?

He ignored the advice the elders gave him. He sought advice from the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him.

Ahaziah also followed the ways of Ahab's family, because his mother gave him advice that led him to sin.

She seduced him with her persuasive words. She forced him with her flattering lips.

A gossip reveals secrets. So avoid a man who speaks flattering words.

As he who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.

A lying tongue hates those afflicted by it and a flattering mouth works ruin.

A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

If a ruler listens to lies, all his servants are wicked.

Those who act wickedly against the covenant will be perverted by flatteries. However, the people who know their God will be strong and act effectively.

I know that after my departing grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

I will be diligent so that every time after my departure you will remember these things.
