2 Chronicles 25:16

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.

And it came to pass, as he talked {H1696} with him, that the king said {H559} unto him, Art thou made {H5414} of the king's {H4428} counsel {H3289}? forbear {H2308}; why shouldest thou be smitten {H5221}? Then the prophet {H5030} forbare {H2308}, and said {H559}, I know {H3045} that God {H430} hath determined {H3289} to destroy {H7843} thee, because thou hast done {H6213} this, and hast not hearkened {H8085} unto my counsel {H6098}.

But as [the prophet] was speaking to him, he interrupted him: "Were you made an adviser to the king? You had better stop before you get yourself killed!" So the prophet stopped, but he added, "I know that God is planning to destroy you for having done this and for refusing to listen to my advice."

While he was still speaking, the king asked, “Have we made you the counselor to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice.”

And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Have we made thee 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.
