1 Kings 22:22

22 And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’ And he said, ‘I will go out, and will be ^aa lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.’

Jeremiah 8:10-12

10 ^bTherefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
everyone ^cis greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
11 They have healed ^dthe wound of my people lightly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, ^ethey were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
^fTherefore they shall fall among the fallen;
when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,

says the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:14-15

14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
^gthey commit adultery and walk in lies;
^hthey strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
ⁱall of them have become like Sodom to me,
^jand its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
^k“Behold, I will feed them with bitter food
^land give them ^mpoisoned water to drink,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”

Jeremiah 29:23

23 because they have done an outrageous thing in Israel, ⁿthey have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and ^othey have spoken in my name lying words that I did not command them. ^pI am the one who knows, ^qand I am witness, declares the Lord.’”

Ezekiel 13:12-16

12 And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the coating with which you smeared it?’ 13 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^rI will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, ^sand there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to make a full end. 14 And I will break down the wall that you have smeared with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you shall perish in the midst of it, ^tand you shall know that I am the Lord. 15 Thus will I spend my wrath upon the wall and upon those who have smeared it with whitewash, and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who smeared it, 16 the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem ^uand saw visions of peace for her, when there was no peace, declares the Lord God.

Ezekiel 13:23

23 ^vtherefore you shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”

Ezekiel 14:9

9 And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, ^wI, the Lord, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
