Instead of humbling himself before God because of his mistake, "Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time." Verse 10.

I stedet for at ydmyge sig over for Gud på grund af sin fejl blev Asa "fortørnet på seeren og satte ham i huset med blokken, thi han var blevet vred på ham derfor. Asa for også hårdt frem mod nogle af folket på den tid". 2Krøn. 16,10.
