21 “Then a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will entice him.’
22 “The Lord asked him, ‘How?’

“He said, ‘I will go and become a lying spirit(A) in the mouth of all his prophets.’

“Then He said, ‘You will certainly entice him and prevail.(B) Go and do that.’
23 “You see, the Lord has put a lying spirit into the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the Lord has pronounced disaster against you.”
