- prophets:
- "The ancientª and honourable,ªª° heª [is] the head;ª and the prophetª that teachethª° lies,ª he¹ [is] the tail.ª ... For the leadersª° of this¹ peopleª cause [them] to err;ª° and [they that are] ledª° of them [are] destroyed.ª°" {Isa 9:15-16} + "The priestsª saidª° not,¹ Where¹ [is] the LORD?ª and they that handleª° the lawª knewª° me not:¹ the pastorsª° also transgressedª° against me, and the prophetsª prophesiedª° by Baal,ª and walkedª° afterª [things that] do not¹ profit.ª°" {Jer 2:8} + "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 from the leastª¹ of them even unto¹ the greatestª of them every one¹ [is] given²° to¹ covetousness;ª and from the prophetª¹ even unto¹ the priestª every one¹ dealethª° falsely.ª ... They have healedª° also¹ the hurtª [of the daughter]²° of my peopleª slightly,ª°¹ saying,ª° Peace,ª peace;ª when [there is] no¹ peace.ª" {Jer 6:13-14} + "Therefore¹ will I giveª°¹ their wivesª unto others,ª [and] their fieldsª to them that shall inheritª° [them]: for¹ every one¹ from the leastª¹ even unto¹ the greatestª is given²° to covetousness,ª¹ from the prophetª¹ even unto¹ the priestª every one¹ dealethª° falsely.ª ... For they have healedª°¹ the hurtª of the daughterª of my peopleª slightly,ª° saying,ª° Peace,ª peace;ª when [there is] no¹ peace.ª" {Jer 8:10-11} + "Then saidª° I, Ah,ª Lordª GOD!ª behold,¹ the prophetsª sayª° unto them, Ye shall not¹ seeª° the sword,ª neither¹ shall ye have¹ famine;ª but¹ I will giveª° you assuredª peaceª in this¹ place.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 14:13-15} + "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} + "Therefore hearkenª° not¹ unto¹ the wordsª of the prophetsª that speakª° unto¹ you, saying,ª° Ye shall not¹ serveª°¹ the kingª of Babylon:ª for¹ they¹ prophesyª° a lieª unto you. ... Also I spakeª° to¹ the priestsª and to¹ all¹ this¹ people,ª saying,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Hearkenª° not¹ to¹ the wordsª of your prophetsª that prophesyª° unto you, saying,ª° Behold,¹ the vesselsª of the LORD'Sª houseª shall now¹ shortlyª be brought againª° from Babylon:ª¹ for¹ they¹ prophesyª° a lieª unto you." {Jer 27:14-16} + "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" {Jer 28:15} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts,ª the Godª of Israel;ª Let not¹ your prophetsª and your diviners,ª° that¹ [be] in the midstª of you, deceiveª° you, neither¹ hearkenª° to¹ your dreamsª which¹ ye¹ cause to be dreamed.ª° ... For¹ they¹ prophesyª° falselyª unto you in my name:ª I have not¹ sentª° them, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 29:8-9} + "Where¹ [are] now² your prophetsª which¹ prophesiedª° unto you, saying,ª° The kingª of Babylonª shall not¹ comeª° against¹ you, nor against¹ this¹ land?ª" {Jer 37:19} + "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 ... [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 13:2-16} + "Ifª a manª walkingª° in the spiritª and falsehoodª do lie,ª° [saying], I will prophesyª° unto thee of wineª and of strong drink;ª he shall even be¹ the prophetª° of this¹ people.ª" {Mic 2:11} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª concerning¹ the prophetsª that make¹ my peopleª err,ª° that biteª° with their teeth,ª and cry,ª° Peace;ª and he that¹ puttethª° not¹ into¹ their mouths,ª they even prepareª° warª against¹ him. ... Then shall the seersª be ashamed,ª° and the divinersª° confounded:ª° yea, they shall all¹ coverª°¹ their lips;ª for¹ [there is] no¹ answerª of God.ª" {Mic 3:5-7} + "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 ... Andª throughª covetousnessª shall they with feignedª wordsª make merchandiseª° of you:ª whoseª judgmentª now of a long timeª lingerethª° not,ª andª theirª damnationª slumberethª° not.ª" {2Pe 2:1-3}
