But Micaiah said,“ As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what my God says.”

But Micaiah said,“ You can be sure that the Lord lives. And you can be just as sure that I can only tell the king what my God says.”

But Micaiah said,“ As the Lord lives, what my God says, that I will speak.”

But Micaiah said,“ As the LORD lives, I will say whatever my God says.”

But Micaiah said,“ As the Lord lives, whatever my God says, I will speak it.”

And Micaiah said,“ As the Lord lives, whatever my God says, that I will speak.”

And Micaiah said, As Jehovah liveth, what my God saith, that will I speak.

But Micaiah said,“ As the Lord lives, I will say whatever my God says.”

And Micaiah said,[ As] the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.

But Micaiah said,“ As certainly as the LORD lives, I will say what my God tells me to say!”

Micaiah said,“ As Yahweh lives, I will say what my God says.”

But the angel of the Lord told Balaam,“ Go with these men, but say only what I tell you to say.” So Balaam went on with Balak’s officials.

‘ Even if Balak were to give me his palace filled with silver and gold, I would be powerless to do anything against the will of the Lord.’ I told you that I could say only what the Lord says!

But Balaam responded to Balak’s messengers,“ Even if Balak were to give me his palace filled with silver and gold, I would be powerless to do anything against the will of the Lord my God.But stay here one more night, and I will see if the Lord has anything else to say to me.”That night God came to Balaam and told him,“ Since these men have come for you, get up and go with them. But do only what I tell you to do.”

But Balaam replied to Balak,“ Didn’t I tell you that I can do only what the Lord tells me?”

You see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ’s authority, knowing that God is watching us.

You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. But they won’t listen, for they are completely rebellious!

For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread

“ Don’t say such things,” the people respond.“ Don’t prophesy like that. Such disasters will never come our way!”Should you talk that way, O family of Israel? Will the Lord’s Spirit have patience with such behavior? If you would do what is right, you would find my words comforting.

But Balaam replied,“ I will speak only the message that the Lord puts in my mouth.”

for I didn’t shrink from declaring all that God wants you to know.

But Micaiah replied,“ As surely as the Lord lives, I will say only what the Lord tells me to say.”

“ Let these false prophets tell their dreams, but let my true messengers faithfully proclaim my every word. There is a difference between straw and grain!

For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

“ All right,” Jeremiah replied.“ I will pray to the Lord your God, as you have asked, and I will tell you everything he says. I will hide nothing from you.”
