Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened to them.

For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?

But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.

He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.

With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she impelled him.

He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honor to a fool.

A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

A man that flattereth his neighbor spreadeth a net for his feet.

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

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

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

Moreover, I will endeavor that ye may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
