false prophets

9As for the prophets: My heart is broken within me, All my bones tremble; I have become like a drunken man, Even like a man overcome with wine, Because of the LORD And because of His holy words.  10For the land is full of adulterers; For the land mourns because of the curse. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course also is evil And their might is not right.  11″For both prophet and priest are polluted; Even in My house I have found their wickedness,” declares the LORD.  12″Therefore their way will be like slippery paths to them, They will be driven away into the gloom and fall down in it; For I will bring calamity upon them, The year of their punishment,” declares the LORD.  13″Moreover, among the prophets of Samaria I saw an offensive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray.  14″Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: The committing of adultery and walking in falsehood; And they strengthen the hands of evildoers, So that no one has turned back from his wickedness. All of them have become to Me like Sodom, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.  15″Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets, ‘Behold, I am going to feed them wormwood And make them drink poisonous water, For from the prophets of Jerusalem Pollution has gone forth into all the land.'”  16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you. They are leading you into futility; They speak a vision of their own imagination, Not from the mouth of the LORD.  17 “They keep saying to those who despise Me, ‘The LORD has said, “You will have peace”‘; And as for everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, They say, ‘Calamity will not come upon you.’  18″But who has stood in the council of the LORD, That he should see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and listened?
Jer 23:19  “Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone forth in wrath, Even a whirling tempest; It will swirl down on the head of the wicked.  20″The anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; In the last days you will clearly understand it.  21″I did not send these prophets, But they ran. I did not speak to them, But they prophesied.  22″But if they had stood in My council, Then they would have announced My words to My people, And would have turned them back from their evil way And from the evil of their deeds.  – Jeremiah 23:9-22

23″Am I a God who is near,” declares the LORD, “And not a God far off?  24″Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?” declares the LORD. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the LORD.  25″I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsely in My name, saying, ‘I had a dream, I had a dream!’  26″How long? Is there anything in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy falsehood, even these prophets of the deception of their own heart,  27who intend to make My people forget My name by their dreams which they relate to one another, just as their fathers forgot My name because of Baal?  28 “The prophet who has a dream may relate his dream, but let him who has My word speak My word in truth. What does straw have in common with grain?” declares the LORD.  29″Is not My word like fire?” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer which shatters a rock?  30″Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” declares the LORD, “who steal My words from each other.  31″Behold, I am against the prophets,” declares the LORD, “who use their tongues and declare, ‘The Lord declares.’  32″Behold, I am against those who have prophesied false dreams,” declares the LORD, “and related them and led My people astray by their falsehoods and reckless boasting; yet I did not send them or command them, nor do they furnish this people the slightest benefit,” declares the LORD.  33″Now when this people or the prophet or a priest asks you saying, ‘What is the oracle of the LORD?’ then you shall say to them, ‘What oracle?’ The LORD declares, ‘I will abandon you.’ – Jeremiah 23:23-33
