- from the prophet:
- "The prophetsª prophesyª° falsely,ª and the priestsª bear ruleª° by¹ their means;ª and my peopleª loveª° [to have it] so:¹ and what¹ will ye doª° in the endª thereof?" {Jer 5:31} + "For¹ both¹ prophetª and¹ priestª are profane;ª° yea,¹ in my houseª have I foundª° their wickedness,ª saithª° the LORD.ª ... They say²° stillª° unto them that despiseª° me, The LORDª hath said,ª° Ye shall have¹ peace;ª and they sayª° unto every one¹ that walkethª° after the imaginationª of his own heart,ª No¹ evilª shall comeª° upon¹ you." {Jer 23:11-17} + "I have heardª°¹ what¹ the prophetsª said,ª° that prophesyª° liesª in my name,ª saying,ª° I have dreamed,ª° I have dreamed.ª° ... How long¹¹ shall [this] beª in the heartª of the prophetsª that prophesyª° lies?ª yea, [they are] prophetsª of the deceitª of their own heart;ª" {Jer 23:25-26} + "Because¹ of all¹ the evilª of the childrenª of Israelª and of the childrenª of Judah,ª which¹ they have doneª° to provoke me to anger,ª° they,¹ their kings,ª their princes,ª their priests,ª and their prophets,ª and the menª of Judah,ª and the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem.ª" {Jer 32:32} + "But theyª also¹ have erredª° through wine,ª and through strong drinkª are out of the way;ª° the priestª and the prophetª have erredª° through strong drink,ª they are swallowed upª° ofª wine,ª they are out of the wayª° through¹ strong drink;ª they errª° in vision,ª they stumbleª° [in] judgment.ª" {Isa 28:7} + "For the sinsª¹ of her prophets,ª [and] the iniquitiesª of her priests,ª that have shedª° the bloodª of the justª in the midstª of her," {Lam 4:13} + "Her princesª in the midstª thereof [are] like wolvesª raveningª° the prey,ª to shedª° blood,ª [and] to destroyª° souls,ª to¹ getª° dishonest gain.ª ... And her prophetsª have daubedª° them with untemperedª [morter], seeingª vanity,ª and diviningª° liesª unto them, saying,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª when the LORDª hath not¹ spoken.ª°" {Ezk 22:27-28}
