- it came of God:
- "And it came to pass,¹ as he talkedª° with¹ him, that [the king] saidª° unto him, Art thou madeª° of the king'sª counsel?ª° forbear;ª° why¹ shouldest thou be smitten?ª° Then the prophetª forbare,ª° and said,ª° I knowª° that¹ Godª hath determinedª° to destroyª° thee, because¹ thou hast doneª° this,¹ and hast not¹ hearkenedª° unto my counsel.ª" {2Ch 25:16} + "And the destructionª of Ahaziahª was¹ of Godª¹ by comingª° to¹ Joram:ª for when he was come,ª° he went outª° with¹ Jehoramª against¹ Jehuª the sonª of Nimshi,ª whom¹ the LORDª had anointedª° to cut offª°¹ the houseª of Ahab.ª" {2Ch 22:7} + "Wherefore the kingª hearkenedª° not¹ unto¹ the people;ª for¹ the causeª was¹ from¹¹ the LORD,ª that¹ he might performª°¹ his saying,ª which¹ the LORDª spakeª° byª Ahijahª the Shiloniteª unto¹ Jeroboamª the sonª of Nebat.ª" {1Kg 12:15} + "But my peopleª would not¹ hearkenª° to my voice;ª and Israelª wouldª° none¹ of me. ... So I gave them upª° unto their own hearts'ª lust:ª [and] they walked²°¹ in their own counsels.ª" {Psa 81:11-12} + "Andª when they agreed notªª° amongª themselves,ª they departed,ª° after that Paulª had spokenª° oneª word,ª² Wellª spakeª° the¹ Holyª Ghostª byª Esaiasª the¹ prophetª untoª ourª fathers,ª ... Forª the¹ heartª of thisª peopleª is waxed gross,ª° andª their earsª are dull² of hearing,ª°¹ andª their²¹ eyesª have they closed;ª° lestª they should seeª° with [their] eyes,ª andª hearª° with [their] ears,ª andª understandª° with [their] heart,ª andª should be converted,ª° andª I should healª° them.ª" {Act 28:25-27} + "[Even him], whoseª comingª isª° afterª the workingª of Satanª withª allª powerª andª signsª andª lyingª wonders,ª ... Andª for this² causeª¹ Godª shall sendª° themª strong² delusion,ª¹ that² theyª should believeª° a lie:ª" {2Th 2:9-11} + "Andª a stoneª of stumbling,ª andª a rockª of offence,ª [even to them] whichª stumbleª° at the¹ word,ª being disobedient:ª° whereuntoªª alsoª they were appointed.ª°" {1Pe 2:8}
