Thus says the Lord Almighty, Hearken not to the words of the prophets, for they frame a vain vision for themselves; they speak from their own heart, and not from the mouth of the Lord.

For they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you,

I spoke to you, and to all this people, and to the priests, saying, Thus said the Lord: Do not listen to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall return from Babylon- for they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you.

If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, let them meet Me, for thus has the Lord said.

which the king of Babylon did not take, when he carried Jeconiah prisoner out of Jerusalem,

they shall go into Babylon, says the Lord.

And Jeremiah said to Hananiah, The Lord has not sent you; and you have caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.

So he died in the seventh month.

Thus says the Lord concerning Ahab [the son of Kolaiah], and concerning Zedekiah: Behold, I [will] deliver them into the hands of the king of Babylon; and he shall slay them in your sight.

because of the iniquity which they wrought in Israel, and [because] they committed adultery with the wives of their fellow citizens, and spoke a word in My name, which I did not command them [to speak], and I am witness, says the Lord.

And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

you shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God is testing you, to see whether you love your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in. So shall you abolish the evil from among you.

of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from one end of the earth to the other;

you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him among the first to slay him, and the hands of all the people at the last.

And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing among you.

Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom you knew not,

you shall utterly destroy all the inhabitants of that land with the edge of the sword; you shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.

And none of the cursed things shall cleave to your hand, that the Lord may turn from His fierce anger, and show you mercy, and pity you, and multiply you, as He swore to your fathers;

But whichever prophet that shall impiously speak in My name a word which I have not commanded him to speak, and whosoever shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.

O My people, your exactors strip you, and extortioners rule over you; O My people, they that pronounce you blessed lead you astray, and pervert the path of your feet.

Have you not seen a false vision, and spoken vain prophecies?

And I will stretch forth My hand against the prophets that see false [visions], and those that utter vanities. They shall not partake of the instruction of My people, neither shall they be written in the roll of the house of Israel, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Say to them that plaster [it], It shall fall; and there shall be a flooding rain; and I will send great stones upon their joinings, and they shall fall; and there shall be a sweeping wind, and it shall be broken.

Therefore thus says the Lord: I will even cause to burst forth a sweeping blast with fury, and there shall be a flooding rain in My wrath; and in [My] fury I will bring on great hailstones for complete destruction.

And I will accomplish My wrath upon the wall, and upon them that plaster it; it shall fall: and I said to you, The wall is not, nor they that plaster it,

And you, son of man, set your face firmly against the daughters of your people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer any remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land.

And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you have spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying.

Then the Beast was apprehended, and with him the False Prophet who had performed the signs before him, by which he had deceived those who received the mark of the Beast and those who worshipped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Her prophets are insolent and scornful men: her priests profane the holy things, and sinfully transgress the law.

Therefore, when I decided this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I decide, do I decide according to the flesh, that there may be with me "Yes, Yes," and "No, No?"

But if they had stood in My counsel, and if they had hearkened to My words, then would they have turned My people from their evil practices.

But seeing you have trusted in lying words, whereby you shall not be profited;

NUN. Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions, and they have not discovered your iniquity, to turn back your captivity; but they have seen for you vain burdens, and worthless visions.

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guides the blind, both will fall into a ditch."
