>>34 And now when ye talk, ye say, If our days had been
>>in the days of our fathers of old, we would not have
>>slain the prophets; we would not have stoned them and
>>cast them out.
>>35 Behold ye are worse than they; for as the Lord
>>liveth, if a prophet come among you, and declareth
>>unto you the word of the Lord, which testifieth of
>>your sins and iniquities, ye are angry with him, and
>>cast him out, and seek all manner of ways to destroy
>>him;
>>36 Yea, you will say that he is a false prophet, and
>>that he is a sinner, and of the devil, because he
>>testifieth that your deeds are evil.
>>37 But behold, if a man shall come among you, and
>>shall say, Do this, and there is no iniquity; do that,
>>and ye shall not suffer; yea, he will say, Walk after
>>the pride of your own hearts; yea, walk after the
>>pride of your eyes, and do whatsoever your hearts
>>desireth; and if a man shall come among you and say
>>this, ye will receive him, and ye will say that he is
>>a prophet;
>>38 Yea, ye will lift him up, and ye will give unto him
>>of your substance; ye will give unto him of your gold,
>>and of your silver, and ye will clothe him with costly
>>apparel;
>>39 And because he speaketh flattering words unto you,
>>and he saith that all is well, then ye will not find
>>fault with him.
>>40 O ye wicked and ye perverse generation; ye hardened
>>and ye stiff-necked people, how long will ye suppose
>>that the Lord will suffer you; yea, how long will ye
>>suffer yourselves to be led by foolish and blind
>>guides; yea, how long will ye choose darkness rather
>>than light;
