For thus says the Lord: Let not the false prophets that are among you persuade you, and let not your diviners persuade you, and hearken not to your dreams which you dream.

For they prophesy to you unrighteous [words] in My name; and I sent them not.

Send to the captivity, saying, Thus says the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Since Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he has made you to trust in iniquity,

Because they have caused My people to err, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and one builds a wall, and they plaster it- it shall fall.

And lo! The wall has fallen; and will they not say to you, Where is your plaster with which you plastered [it?]

And I will break down the wall which you have plastered, and it shall fall; and I will lay it on the ground, and its foundations shall be discovered, and it shall fall; and you shall be consumed with rebukes; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

even the prophets of Israel, who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see [visions of] peace for her, and there is no peace, says the Lord.

Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that lead My people astray, that bite with their teeth, and proclaim peace to them; and [when] nothing was put into their mouth, they raised up war against them:

And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.

For false christs and false prophets will be raised up, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

And Jesus, answering them, began to say: "Take heed lest anyone deceive you.

For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will give signs and wonders in order to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for what a man sows, this also he will reap.

For he who sows to his flesh, from his own flesh will reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap everlasting life.

Now this I say lest anyone may deceive you with persuasive words.

Beware lest anyone captures you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

Let no one rule against you, desiring [to do so] in [false] humility and in worship of the angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, in vain being puffed up by his carnal mind,

Let no one deceive you by any means; for [that day will not come] unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is unveiled, the son of perdition,

and in all deception of unrighteousness among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

so that they all might be damned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

You have said, (but [they are] mere words) [I have] counsel and strength for war. Now then, in whom do you trust, that you have revolted from me?

Also in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen horrible things: as they committed adultery, and walked in lies, and strengthened the hands of many, that they should not return each from his evil way. They have all become to Me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.

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.

And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and for forty years He caused them to wander in the wilderness, until all the generation which did evil in the sight of the Lord was extinct.

Behold, you have risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against Israel.

Is the sin of Peor too little for you, whereas we have not been cleansed from it until this day, though there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord?

And you have revolted this day from the Lord; and it shall come to pass if you revolt this day from the Lord, that tomorrow there shall be wrath upon all Israel.

then the indignation of God rose up against them, and slew the fattest of them, and overthrew the choice men of Israel.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.

Because of which things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience,

in which you once walked according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit which is now working in the sons of disobedience,

among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the senses, and were by nature children of wrath, as also the rest.

And we see that they were not able to enter on account of unbelief.

and "a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense." They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.
