He speaks of false prophets, answering out of their own heads and according to their own corrupt inclinations. Ibid. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)
[!note]- I have deceived that prophet…
God Almighty deceives false prophets, partly by withdrawing his light from them; and abandoning them to their own corrupt inclinations, which push them on to prophesy such things as are agreeable to those who consult them: and partly by disappointing them, and causing all thing to happen contrary to what they have said. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)
