2 Chronicles 16:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

Asa Imprisons the Prophet

⁷ At that time ^(A)Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, “^(B)Because you have relied on the king of Aram and have not relied on the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand. ⁸ Were not ^(C)the Ethiopians and the Lubim ^(D)an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet ^(E)because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your hand. ⁹ For ^(F)the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those ^(G)whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars.”
