Isa 9:15-16, Jer 14:14-15, 23:9-17, 27, 32, 28:15-17, 29:21-23, Mic 3:11 | ESV | STEP | the elder and honored man is the head , and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail ;

15 ^athe elder and honored man is the head,
and ^bthe prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
16 for those who guide this people have been leading them astray,
and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.

Jeremiah 14:14-15

14 And the Lord said to me: “The ^cprophets are prophesying lies in my name. ^dI did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, ^eworthless divination, and ^fthe deceit of their own minds. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although ^gI did not send them, and who say, ^h‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: ⁱBy sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed.

Jeremiah 23:9-17

Lying Prophets

9 Concerning the prophets:

^jMy heart is broken within me;
^kall my bones shake;
I am like a drunken man,
like a man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and because of his holy words.
10 ^lFor the land is full of adulterers;
^mbecause of the curse ⁿthe land mourns,
and ^othe pastures of the wilderness are dried up.
^pTheir course is evil,
and their might is not right.
11 ^q“Both prophet and priest are ungodly;
even ^rin my house I have found their evil,

declares the Lord.
12 ^sTherefore their way shall be to them
like slippery paths ^tin the darkness,
into which they shall be driven and fall,
for I will bring disaster upon them
^uin the year of their punishment,

declares the Lord.
13 In the prophets of ^vSamaria
^wI saw an unsavory thing:
^xthey prophesied by Baal
^yand led my people Israel astray.
14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
^zthey commit adultery and walk in lies;
^aathey strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
^aball of them have become like Sodom to me,
^acand its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
^ad“Behold, I will feed them with bitter food
^aeand give them ^afpoisoned water to drink,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, ^agfilling you with vain hopes. ^ahThey speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, ^ai‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who ^ajstubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ^ak‘No disaster shall come upon you.’”

Jeremiah 23:27

27 who think to make my people forget my name ^alby their dreams that they tell one another, even as their ^amfathers forgot my name for Baal?

Jeremiah 23:32

32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and ^anlead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when ^aoI did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 28:15-17

15 And Jeremiah the prophet said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah, ^apthe Lord has not sent you, ^aqand you have made this people trust in a lie. 16 Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will remove you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, ^arbecause you have uttered rebellion against the Lord.’”

17 In that same year, in the seventh month, the prophet Hananiah died.

Jeremiah 29:21-23

21 ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, ^aswho are prophesying a lie to you in my name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall strike them down before your eyes. 22 ^atBecause of them ^authis curse shall be used by all the exiles from Judah in Babylon: “The Lord make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, ^avwhom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,” 23 because they have done an outrageous thing in Israel, ^awthey have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and ^axthey have spoken in my name lying words that I did not command them. ^ayI am the one who knows, ^azand I am witness, declares the Lord.’”

Micah 3:11

11 ^baIts heads give judgment for a bribe;
^bbits priests teach for a price;
^bcits prophets practice divination for money;
^bdyet they lean on the Lord and ^besay,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
^bfNo disaster shall come upon us.”
