For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.

For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the LORD.

Send to all those in captivity, saying, Thus says the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I have not sent him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie --

"Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, 'Peace!' when [there is] no peace -- and one builds a wall, and they plaster it with untempered [mortar -- ]

"Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, 'Where [is] the mortar with which you plastered [it?'] "

"So I will break down the wall you have plastered with untempered [mortar,] and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered; it will fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst of it. Then you shall know that I [am] the LORD.

'[that is,] the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when [there is] no peace,' " says the Lord GOD.

Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets Who make my people stray; Who chant "Peace" While they chew with their teeth, But who prepare war against him Who puts nothing into their mouths:

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

"For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

And Jesus, answering them, began to say: "Take heed that no one deceives you.

"For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

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

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

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

Beware lest anyone cheat 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 cheat you of your reward, taking delight in [false] humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly 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 revealed, the son of perdition,

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

that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

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

"You speak of [having] plans and power for war; but [they are] mere words. And in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?

Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem: They commit adultery and walk in lies; They also strengthen the hands of evildoers, So that no one turns back from his wickedness. All of them are like Sodom to Me, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.

Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of the LORD.

"So the LORD's anger was aroused against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was gone.

"And look! You have risen in your father's place, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the LORD against Israel.

'[Is] the iniquity of Peor not enough for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

'but that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? And it shall be, if you rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

The wrath of God came against them, And slew the stoutest of them, And struck down the choice [men] of Israel.

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

Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience,

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works 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 mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

So we see that they could not enter in because 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.
