  • Zech 13:2-4 : 2 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no longer be remembered; and also, I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to depart out of the land. 3 And it shall come to pass that when anyone continues to prophesy, then his father and his mother who gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the LORD; and his father and his mother who gave birth to him shall pierce him through when he prophesies. 4 And it shall come to pass in that day that the prophets shall be ashamed, every one of his vision, when he has prophesied; nor shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
  • Jer 14:13-16 : 13 Then I said, 'Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, the prophets say to them, 'You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.'' 14 Then the LORD said to me, 'The prophets prophesy lies in My name; I have not sent them, nor commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision and divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart.' 15 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, and I have not sent them, yet they say, 'Sword and famine shall not be in this land'—by sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed. 16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; they will have no one to bury them—neither them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters—for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
  • Jer 23:14-29 : 14 I have also seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem: They commit adultery and walk in lies. They also strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that none returns from his wickedness. They are all to me as Sodom, and the inhabitants of it as Gomorrah. 15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem profaneness has gone forth into all the land. 16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you vain; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 17 They still say to those who despise me, 'The LORD has said, You shall have peace.' And they say to everyone who walks after the imagination of his own heart, 'No evil shall come upon you.' 18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD and has perceived and heard his word? Who has marked his word and heard it? 19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD has gone forth in fury, a grievous whirlwind; it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. 20 The anger of the LORD shall not return until he has executed and until he has performed the thoughts of his heart. In the latter days you shall consider it perfectly. 21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way and from the evil of their deeds. 23 Am I a God nearby, says the LORD, and not a God afar off? 24 Can anyone hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? says the LORD. 25 I have heard what the prophets said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, 'I have dreamed, I have dreamed.' 26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart, 27 who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which everyone tells to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. 28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? says the LORD. 29 Is not my word like a fire? says the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
