Isaiah 41:6-7
6Everyone helps his neighborand says to his brother, “Be strong!”
7 aThe craftsman strengthens the goldsmith,
and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, “It is good”;
and they strengthen it with nails bso that it cannot be moved.
Jeremiah 5:30-31
30 An appalling and chorrible thinghas happened in the land:
31 dthe prophets prophesy falsely,
and the priests rule at their direction;
emy people love to have it so,
but what will you do when the end comes?
Jeremiah 14:14
14And the Lord said to me: “The fprophets are prophesying lies in my name. gI did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, hworthless divination, and ithe deceit of their own minds.Jeremiah 23:32
32Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and jlead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when kI did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.Ezekiel 13:2-4
2 l“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, and say to those mwho prophesy from their own hearts: ‘Hear the word of the Lord!’ 3Thus says the Lord God, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 4Your prophets have been like jackals among ruins, O Israel.Ezekiel 13:16
16the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem nand saw visions of peace for her, when there was no peace, declares the Lord God.Ezekiel 22:25
25 oThe conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is plike a roaring lion qtearing the prey; they have devoured human lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.Micah 3:11
11 rIts heads give judgment for a bribe;sits priests teach for a price;
tits prophets practice divination for money;
uyet they lean on the Lord and vsay,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
wNo disaster shall come upon us.”
