וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי בוֹא אֲמַצְיָהוּ מֵהַכּוֹת אֶת־אֲדוֹמִים וַיָּבֵא אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי בְּנֵי שֵׂעִיר וַיַּעֲמִידֵם לוֹ לֵאלֹהִים וְלִפְנֵיהֶם יִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֶה וְלָהֶם יְקַטֵּֽר׃
Now it came to pass, after Amażyahu was come from the slaughter of the Adomim, that he brought the gods of the children of Se῾ir, and set them up to be his gods, and prostrated himself before them, and burned incense to them.

וַיִּֽחַר־אַף יְהֹוָה בַּאֲמַצְיָהוּ וַיִּשְׁלַח אֵלָיו נָבִיא וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ לָמָּה דָרַשְׁתָּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי הָעָם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־הִצִּילוּ אֶת־עַמָּם מִיָּדֶֽךָ׃
So that the anger of the Lord burned against Amażyahu, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, who could not deliver their own people out of thy hand?

וַיְהִי ׀ בְּדַבְּרוֹ אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הַלְיוֹעֵץ לַמֶּלֶךְ נְתַנּוּךָ חֲדַל־לְךָ לָמָּה יַכּוּךָ וַיֶּחְדַּל הַנָּבִיא וַיֹּאמֶר יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי־יָעַץ אֱלֹהִים לְהַשְׁחִיתֶךָ כִּֽי־עָשִׂיתָ זֹּאת וְלֹא שָׁמַעְתָּ לַעֲצָתִֽי׃ {פ}
And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, Have we made thee of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldst thou be smitten? Then the prophet ceased, and said, I know that God has determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to my counsel.

Rashi
כי יעץ אלהים להשחיתך. כלומר אם אין אתה שומע לעצתי לילך בדרך ישרה דע לך אתה המלך כי יעץ ה' להשתיתך הואיל כי עשית זאת ולא שמעת לעצה ומה היא העצ' שהשיאך להתגרות במלך ישראל וליפול לפניו כדכתיב ויועץ אמציה מלך יהודה וישלח אל יואש וגו':
that God has given counsel to destroy you i.e., If you do not hearken to My advice to follow the straight path, you should know, O king, that the Lord has given counsel to destroy you because you have done this, and have not hearkened to the counsel. Now what is the counsel? That he enticed you to provoke the king of Israel and to fall before him, as it is written: “And Amaziah the king of Judah took counsel, and he sent to Joash, etc.”
