Proverbs 10:26

26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
so is the sluggard to those who send him.

Proverbs 26:6

6 Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool
cuts off his own feet and ^adrinks violence.

Jeremiah 23:13-16

13 In the prophets of ^bSamaria
^cI saw an unsavory thing:
^dthey prophesied by Baal
^eand led my people Israel astray.
14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
^fthey commit adultery and walk in lies;
^gthey strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
^hall of them have become like Sodom to me,
ⁱand its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
^j“Behold, I will feed them with bitter food
^kand give them ^lpoisoned 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, ^mfilling you with vain hopes. ⁿThey speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:28

28 ^oLet the prophet who has a dream ^ptell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. ^qWhat has straw in common with wheat? declares the Lord.

Ezekiel 3:18

18 ^rIf I say to the wicked, ^s‘You shall surely die,’ ^tand you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person ^ushall die for ^{▼▼Or in; also verses 19, 20} his iniquity, ^wbut his blood I will require at your hand.

Ezekiel 33:7-8

7 ^x“So you, ^yson of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel. ^zWhenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 8 ^aaIf I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, ^aband you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, ^acthat wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.

2 Corinthians 2:17

17 For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
