And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 25 of 2 Chronicles. After defeating Edom, Amaziah brings back the Edomite gods and begins worshiping them. A prophet confronts him, and the king responds by threatening him. The episode shows a profound contradiction: the man who had consulted God before the war eventually attributes religious value to the gods of the defeated people.

Und da er mit ihm redete, sprach er zu ihm: Hat man dich zu des Königs Rat gemacht? Höre auf; warum willst du geschlagen sein? Da hörte der Prophet auf und sprach: Ich merke wohl, daß Gott sich beraten hat, dich zu verderben, weil du solches getan hast und gehorchst meinem Rat nicht.
Y hablándole el profeta estas cosas, él le respondió: ¿Hante puesto a ti por consejero del rey? Déjate de eso: ¿por qué quieres que te maten? Y al cesar, el profeta dijo luego: Yo sé que Dios ha acordado destruirte, porque has hecho esto, y no obedeciste a mi consejo.
Comme il parlait, Amatsia lui dit: Est-ce que nous t'avons fait conseiller du roi? Retire-toi! Pourquoi veux-tu qu'on te frappe? Le prophète se retira, en disant: Je sais que Dieu a résolu de te détruire, parce que tu as fait cela et que tu n'as pas écouté mon conseil.
Ma mentre colui parlava al re, egli gli disse: Sei tu stato dato al re per consigliere? resta; perchè saresti ucciso? Il profeta dunque restò; ma pur disse: Io so che il consiglio di Dio è di perderti, perchè tu hai fatto questo, e non hai ubbidito al mio consiglio
E sucedeu que, falando ele ao rei, este lhe respondeu: Puseram-te por conselheiro do rei? Cala-te! Por que haveria de ser ferido? Então parou o profeta, e disse: Bem vejo eu que já Deus deliberou destruir-te; porquanto fizeste isto, e não deste ouvidos ao meu conselho.
先知與王說話的時候,王對他說:「難道我們立你作王的謀士嗎?你住口吧!為何要挨打呢?」先知就止住了,卻說:「我知道上帝已定意要消滅你,因為你行這事,不聽從我的勸戒。」
