- The LORD[YHWH]:
- This was a bold speech, in the presence of those priests and people who were prejudiced in favour of the false prophets, who prophesied to them smooth things. "And Hananiahª spakeª° in the presenceª of all¹ the people,ª saying,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Even so¹ will I breakª°¹ the yokeª of Nebuchadnezzarª kingª of Babylonª from¹¹ the neckª of all¹ nationsª within the space of¹ two full² years.ª¹ And the prophetª Jeremiahª went²°¹ his way.ª" {Jer 28:11} + "Then the LORDª saidª° unto¹ me, The prophetsª prophesyª° liesª in my name:ª I sentª° them not,¹ neither¹ have I commandedª° them, neither¹ spakeª° unto¹ them: they¹ prophesyª° unto you a falseª visionª and divination,ª and a thing of nought,ª²° and the deceitª of their heart.ª ... Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª concerning¹ the prophetsª that prophesyª° in my name,ª and I¹ sentª° them not,¹ yet they¹ say,ª° Swordª and famineª shall not¹ be¹ in this¹ land;ª By swordª and famineª shall those¹ prophetsª be consumed.ª°" {Jer 14:14-15} + "I have not¹ sentª°¹ these prophets,ª yet they¹ ran:ª° I have not¹ spokenª° to¹ them, yet they¹ prophesied.ª°" {Jer 23:21} + "For¹ I have not¹ sentª° them, saithª° the LORD,ª yet they¹ prophesyª° a lieª in my name;ª that¹ I might drive you out,ª°¹ and that ye might perish,ª° ye,¹ and the prophetsª that prophesyª° unto you." {Jer 27:15} + "Because¹¹ they have committedª° villanyª in Israel,ª and have committed²° adulteryª° with¹ their neighbours'ª wives,ª and have spokenª° lyingª wordsª in my name,ª which¹ I have not¹ commandedª° them; even I¹ know,ª° and [am] a witness,ª saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 29:23} + "Sendª° to¹ all¹ them of the captivity,ª saying,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª concerning¹ Shemaiahª the Nehelamite;ª Because¹¹ that Shemaiahª hath prophesiedª° unto you, and I¹ sentª° him not,¹ and he caused you to trustª°¹ in¹ a lie:ª ... Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Behold,¹ I will punishª°¹ Shemaiahª the Nehelamite,ª and his seed:ª he shall not¹ have¹ a manª to dwellª° amongª this¹ people;ª neither¹ shall he beholdª° the goodª that¹ I¹ will doª° for my people,ª saithª° the LORD;ª because¹ he hath taughtª° rebellionª against¹ the LORD.ª" {Jer 29:31-32} + "Now¹ therefore, behold,¹ the LORDª hath putª° a lyingª spiritª in the mouthª of all¹ these¹ thy prophets,ª and the LORDª hath spokenª° evilª concerning¹ thee." {1Kg 22:23} + "Sonª of man,ª prophesyª° against¹ the prophetsª of Israelª that prophesy,ª° and sayª° thou unto them that prophesyª out of their own hearts,ª¹ Hearª° ye the wordª of the LORD;ª ... Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Woeª unto¹ the foolishª prophets,ª that¹ followªª° their own spirit,ª and have seenª° nothing!¹" {Ezk 13:2-3} + "Because¹ with liesª ye have made the heartª of the righteousª sad,ª° whom I¹ have not¹ made sad;ª° and strengthenedª° the handsª of the wicked,²¹ that he should not¹ returnª° from his wicked² way,ª¹¹ by promising him life:ª°" {Ezk 13:22} + "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 22:28} + "Thy prophetsª have seenª° vainª and foolish thingsª for thee: and they have not¹ discoveredª°¹ thine iniquity,ª to turn awayª° thy captivity;ª° but have seenª° for thee falseª burdensª and causes of banishment.ª" {Lam 2:14} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ [that] when¹ anyª shall yet¹ prophesy,ª° then his fatherª and his motherª that begatª° him shall sayª° unto¹ him, Thou shalt not¹ live;ª° for¹ thou speakestª° liesª in the nameª of the LORD:ª and his fatherª and his motherª that begatª° him shall thrust²° him through¹ when he prophesieth.ª°" {Zch 13:3}
