And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.It seems to me that the Christian God has a hard time making up his mind as to whom he should blame. Part of the time, he blames the Chosen People themselves for not following his ways. However, at different times, others are to blame because these others CAUSED the people of Israel to stray.
~ King James version ~
