Deuteronomy 13:1-5

1“If a prophet or aa dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, 2and bthe sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ 3you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God cis testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4You shall dwalk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and ehold fast to him. 5But fthat prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, to make you leave the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. gSo you shall purge the evil ▼
▼Or  evil person
 from your midst.

Jeremiah 23:25-27

25I have heard what the prophets have said iwho prophesy lies in my name, saying, j‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ 26How long shall there be lies in the heart of kthe prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart, 27who think to make my people forget my name lby their dreams that they tell one another, even as their mfathers forgot my name for Baal?

Micah 2:11

11If a man should go about and nutter wind and lies,
saying, “I will preach to you oof wine and strong drink,”
he would be the preacher for this people!

Matthew 24:4-5

4And Jesus answered them, p“See that no one leads you astray. 5For qmany will come in my name, saying, ‘I am rthe Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.

Matthew 24:24

24For sfalse christs and tfalse prophets will arise and uperform great signs and wonders, vso as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

2 Peter 2:1-3

False Prophets and Teachers

1But wfalse prophets also arose among the people, xjust as there will be false teachers among you, who will ysecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master zwho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth aawill be blasphemed. 3And abin their greed they will exploit you acwith false words. adTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
