Jer 23:14-17, 31-32, 27:9-10, Eze 22:25, 28, Mic 3:5, Zep 3:4 | ESV | STEP | But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing : they commit adultery and walk in lies ; they strengthen the hands of evildoers , so that no one turns from his evil ; all of them have become like Sodom to me, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah .

Jeremiah 23:14-17

14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
^athey commit adultery and walk in lies;
^bthey strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
^call of them have become like Sodom to me,
^dand its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
^e“Behold, I will feed them with bitter food
^fand give them ^gpoisoned 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, ^hfilling you with vain hopes. ⁱThey 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, ^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 23:31-32

31 Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who use their tongues and declare, ‘declares the Lord.’ 32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and ^mlead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when ⁿI did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 27:9-10

9 So ^odo not listen to your ^pprophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your ^qfortune-tellers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’ 10 ^rFor it is a lie that they are prophesying to you, with the result that you will be removed far from your land, and I will drive you out, and you will perish.

Ezekiel 22:25

25 ^sThe conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is ^tlike a roaring lion ^utearing the prey; they have devoured human lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.

Ezekiel 22:28

28 And ^vher prophets have smeared whitewash for them, ^wseeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.

Micah 3:5

5 Thus says the Lord concerning ^xthe prophets
who lead my people astray,
^ywho cry “Peace”
when they have something to eat,
but declare war against him
who puts nothing into their mouths.

Zephaniah 3:4

4 ^zHer prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
^aaher priests ^abprofane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.
