  • Jer 27:2-9 : 2 This is what the LORD instructed me: "Make for yourself chains and yokes, and place them on your neck. 3 Then send them to the kings of Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to King Zedekiah of Judah. 4 Give them this command for their masters: ‘This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: This is what you are to say to your masters: 5 By my great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth, the people, and the animals that are on it. I give it to anyone I choose. 6 Now I have handed over all these lands to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant. I have even given him the wild animals to serve him. 7 All nations will serve him, his son, and his grandson until the time for his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their slave. 8 But any nation or kingdom that will not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon or place its neck under his yoke—I will punish that nation with sword, famine, and plague, declares the LORD, until I destroy it by his hand. 9 So do not listen to your prophets, diviners, dreamers, soothsayers, or sorcerers who say to you, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ 10 They are prophesying lies to you, and the result will be that I will drive you far from your land, and you will perish. 11 But the nation that willingly brings its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, I will let dwell on its land, declares the LORD, to work it and live on it. 12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah with the same message, saying, "Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and you will live.
  • Ezek 13:5-9 : 5 You have not gone up to the breaches or repaired the wall for the house of Israel, so that it can stand firm in battle on the day of the LORD. 6 They have seen false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘This is the declaration of the LORD,’ when the LORD has not sent them, and they hope to fulfill their words. 7 Haven’t you seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you say, ‘Thus says the LORD,’ but I have not spoken? 8 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD. 9 My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people, nor be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, nor enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD. 10 Because they have misled my people by saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because when a flimsy wall is built, they plaster it over with whitewash, 11 say to those who plaster it with whitewash that it will fall. There will be a flooding rain, hailstones will fall, and a stormy wind will break it. 12 When the wall falls, people will ask you, ‘Where is the whitewash you applied?’ 13 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: In my wrath, I will unleash a stormy wind. In my anger, there will be flooding rain, and hailstones in fury will bring about destruction. 14 I will break down the wall that you plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground so that its foundation is exposed. It will collapse, and you will perish within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 15 So I will pour out my wrath on the wall and on those who plaster it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who plastered it,’ 16 along with the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and claimed visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.
  • Mic 3:11 : 11 Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice divination for silver. Yet they lean on the LORD, saying, 'Is not the LORD among us? No disaster will come upon us.'
