3 ^t“Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God, Is it to inquire of me that you come? ^uAs I live, declares the Lord God, ^vI will not be inquired of by you.

31 When you present your gifts and ^goffer up your children in fire,¹ you defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. And ^hshall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? ⁱAs I live, declares the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you.

13 And Elisha said to the king of Israel, ^s“What have I to do with you? Go to ^tthe prophets of your father and to ^uthe prophets of your mother.” But the king of Israel said to him, “No; it is ^othe Lord who has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.”

37 “Thus says the Lord God: This also ^yI will let the house of Israel ask me to do for them: ^zto increase their people like ^aa flock.
