- Because:
- "For¹ they¹ prophesyª° falselyª unto you in my name:ª I have not¹ sentª° them, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 29:9} + "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} + "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} + "Then saidª° the prophetª Jeremiahª unto¹ Hananiahª the prophet,ª Hearª° now,¹ Hananiah;ª The LORDª hath not¹ sentª° thee; but thou¹ makest¹ this¹ peopleª to trustª° in¹ a lie.ª ... So Hananiahª the prophetª diedª° the same¹ yearª in the seventhª month.ª" {Jer 28:15-17} + "Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Because¹ ye have spokenª° vanity,ª and seenª° lies,ª therefore,¹ behold,¹ I [am] against¹ you, saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª ... [To wit], the prophetsª of Israelª which prophesyª° concerning¹ Jerusalem,ª and which see²¹ visionsª of peaceª for her, and [there is] no¹ peace,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 13:8-16} + "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° ... Therefore¹ ye shall seeª° no¹ more¹ vanity,ª nor¹ divineª° divinations:ª for I will deliverª°¹ my peopleª out of your hand:ª¹ and ye shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD.ª" {Ezk 13:22-23} + "Butª there wereª° false prophetsª alsoª amongª the¹ people,ª evenª asª there shall beª° false teachersª amongª you,ª whoª privily shall bring inª° damnableª heresies,ª evenª denyingª° the¹ Lordª that boughtª° them,ª and bring²° upon¹ themselvesª swiftª destruction.ª" {2Pe 2:1}
