[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 13:10-16} + "And Zedekiahª the sonª of Chenaanahª madeª° him hornsª of iron:ª and he said,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª With these¹ shalt thou pushª°¹ the Syrians,ª until¹ thou have consumedª° them. ... And the messengerª that¹ was goneª° to callª° Micaiahª spakeª° unto¹ him, saying,ª° Behold¹ now,¹ the wordsª of the prophetsª [declare] goodª unto¹ the kingª with oneª mouth:ª let thy word,ª I pray thee,¹ be¹ like the wordª of oneª of them,¹ and speakª° [that which is] good.ª" {1Kg 22:11-13} + "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} + "A wonderfulª and horrible thingª is committedª° in the land;ª ... 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 5:30-31} + "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" {Jer 6:13} + "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} + "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} + "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 ...
