Jeremiah 29:20-23

20Hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles awhom I sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon: 21Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, bwho 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 cBecause of them dthis curse shall be used by all the exiles from Judah in Babylon: “The Lord make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, ewhom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,” 23because they have done an outrageous thing in Israel, fthey have committed adultery with their neighborswives, and gthey have spoken in my name lying words that I did not command them. hI am the one who knows, iand I am witness, declares the Lord.’”
