Đang khi người ấy vẫn còn nói, vua phán với ông, “Chúng ta đã lập ngươi lên làm cố vấn của vua khi nào thế? Hãy im đi, ngươi muốn chết phải không?” Bấy giờ người ấy ngừng, rồi lại nói tiếp, “Tôi biết Đức Chúa Trời đã quyết định tiêu diệt ngài, vì ngài đã làm điều ấy và không nghe lời khuyên của tôi.”
Điều này có nghĩa gì?
In this verse, a king is talking to a prophet. The king asks if the prophet is part of the king's counsel, and tells him to stop talking. The prophet then says he knows God has decided to destroy the king because he didn't listen to the prophet's advice.

In modern life, we can apply this by listening to the advice of those who have our best interests at heart, like parents or mentors. Ignoring their advice can lead to negative outcomes, much like the king in the verse who faced destruction for not heeding the prophet's counsel.
