God Spoke Through Wicked Men

God also spoke through wicked men.

Balaam the prophet
And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe; and the Spirit of God came upon him. (Numbers 24:2 NASB)

Pharaoh Neco of Egypt
But Josiah did not turn away from him; instead, in order to fight with him he disguised himself. He did not listen to Neco's words from the mouth of God, but went to the Valley of Megiddo to fight. (2 Chronicles 35:22 HCSB)

Caiaphas the high priest
He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation (John 11:51 ESV)
