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 have followed the way of Balaam, son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness. 16 But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—a beast without speech—that spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness. 17 These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness has been reserved for them forever. 18 For they utter arrogant, empty words and entice those who are barely escaping from others living in error, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh and by debauchery. 19 They promise freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption, for a person is a slave to whatever has mastered them.
