Evil » Who strengthens the hands of evildoers
I have seen folly among the Prophets of Samaria, that they preached for Baal, and deceived my people of Israel. I have seen also among the Prophets of Jerusalem foul adultery, and presumptuous lies.

Seeing that with your lies ye discomfort the heart of the righteous, whom I have not discomforted: Again, forsomuch as ye courage the hand of the wicked, so that he may not turn from his wicked way, and live:
