Ezek 21:21 : 21 For the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} stood{H5975}{(H8804)} at the parting{H517} of the way{H1870}, at the head{H7218} of the two{H8147} ways{H1870}, to use{H7080}{(H8800)} divination{H7081}: he made his arrows{H2671} bright{H7043}{(H8773)}, he consulted{H7592}{(H8804)} with images{H8655}, he looked{H7200}{(H8804)} in the liver{H3516}.
Ezek 21:29 : 29 Whiles they see{H2372}{(H8800)} vanity{H7723} unto thee, whiles they divine{H7080}{(H8800)} a lie{H3577} unto thee, to bring{H5414}{(H8800)} thee upon the necks{H6677} of them that are slain{H2491}, of the wicked{H7563}, whose day{H3117} is come{H935}{(H8804)}, when{H6256} their iniquity{H5771} shall have an end{H7093}.
Mic 2:12 : 12 I will surely{H622}{(H8800)} assemble{H622}{(H8799)}, O Jacob{H3290}, all of thee; I will surely{H6908}{(H8763)} gather{H6908}{(H8762)} the remnant{H7611} of Israel{H3478}; I will put{H7760}{(H8799)} them together{H3162} as the sheep{H6629} of Bozrah{H1223}{(H8677)}{H1224}, as the flock{H5739} in the midst{H8432} of their fold{H1699}: they shall make great noise{H1949}{(H8686)} by reason of the multitude of men{H120}.
Mic 3:6-9 : 6 Therefore night{H3915} shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision{H2377}; and it shall be dark{H2821}{(H8675)}{H2821}{(H8804)} unto you, that ye shall not divine{H7080}{(H8800)}; and the sun{H8121} shall go down{H935}{(H8804)} over the prophets{H5030}, and the day{H3117} shall be dark{H6937}{(H8804)} over them. 7 Then shall the seers{H2374} be ashamed{H954}{(H8804)}, and the diviners{H7080}{(H8802)} confounded{H2659}{(H8804)}: yea, they shall all cover{H5844}{(H8804)} their lips{H8222}; for there is no answer{H4617} of God{H430}. 8 But truly{H199} I am full{H4390}{(H8804)} of power{H3581} by the spirit{H7307} of the LORD{H3068}, and of judgment{H4941}, and of might{H1369}, to declare{H5046}{(H8687)} unto Jacob{H3290} his transgression{H6588}, and to Israel{H3478} his sin{H2403}. 9 Hear{H8085}{(H8798)} this, I pray you, ye heads{H7218} of the house{H1004} of Jacob{H3290}, and princes{H7101} of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}, that abhor{H8581}{(H8764)} judgment{H4941}, and pervert{H6140}{(H8762)} all equity{H3477}. 10 They build up{H1129}{(H8802)} Zion{H6726} with blood{H1818}, and Jerusalem{H3389} with iniquity{H5766}. 11 The heads{H7218} thereof judge{H8199}{(H8799)} for reward{H7810}, and the priests{H3548} thereof teach{H3384}{(H8686)} for hire{H4242}, and the prophets{H5030} thereof divine{H7080}{(H8799)} for money{H3701}: yet will they lean{H8172}{(H8735)} upon the LORD{H3068}, and say{H559}{(H8800)}, Is not the LORD{H3068} among{H7130} us? none evil{H7451} can come{H935}{(H8799)} upon us.
