2 Chronicles 18:5
5Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or shall I refrain?” And they said, “Go up, for God will give it into the hand of the king.”2 Chronicles 18:12-17
12And the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Behold, the words of the prophets with one accord are favorable to the king. Let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably.” 13But Micaiah said, a“As the Lord lives, bwhat my God says, that I will speak.” 14And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?” And he answered, “Go up and triumph; they will be given into your hand.” 15But the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?” 16And he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, cas sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘These have no master; let each return to his home in peace.’” 17And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”Isaiah 30:10-11
10 dwho say to ethe seers, “Do not see,”and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right;
speak to us fsmooth things,
prophesy illusions,
11leave the way, turn aside from the path,
let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”
Jeremiah 8:10-11
10 gTherefore I will give their wives to othersand their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
everyone his greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.
11They have healed ithe wound of my people lightly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
Jeremiah 23:17
17They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, j‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who kstubbornly follows his own heart, they say, l‘No disaster shall come upon you.’”Jeremiah 28:1-9
Hananiah the False Prophet
1In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of mZedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, Hananiah the son of nAzzur, the prophet from oGibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying, 2“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: pI have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 qWithin rtwo years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. 4I will also bring back to this place sJeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, declares the Lord, tfor I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”5Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Hananiah the prophet in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord, 6and the prophet Jeremiah said, u“Amen! May the Lord do so; may the Lord make the words that you have prophesied come true, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the exiles. 7Yet hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. 8 vThe prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. 9 wAs for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet.”
Jeremiah 28:15-17
15And Jeremiah the prophet said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah, xthe Lord has not sent you, yand you have made this people trust in a lie. 16Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will remove you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, zbecause you have uttered rebellion against the Lord.’”17In that same year, in the seventh month, the prophet Hananiah died.
