Jeremiah 8:11-12
11They have healed athe wound of my people lightly,saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
12Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, bthey were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
cTherefore they shall fall among the fallen;
when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says the Lord.
Jeremiah 14:13-16
Lying Prophets
13Then I said: “Ah, Lord God, behold, the prophets dsay to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.’” 14And the Lord said to me: “The eprophets are prophesying lies in my name. fI did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, gworthless divination, and hthe deceit of their own minds. 15Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although iI did not send them, and who say, j‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: kBy sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed. 16And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, lwith none to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.Ezekiel 13:9-10
9My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who give lying divinations. They shall not be in the council of my people, mnor be enrolled in the register of the house of Israel, nnor shall they enter the land of Israel. oAnd you shall know that I am the Lord God. 10Precisely because they have misled my people, psaying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, qthese prophets smear it with whitewash, ▼▼Or plaster; also verses 11, 14, 15
