- concerning:
- "The headsª thereof judgeª° for reward,ª and the priestsª thereof teachª° for hire,ª and the prophetsª thereof divineª° for money:ª yet will they leanª° upon¹ the LORD,ª and say,ª° [Is] not¹ the LORDª amongª us? none¹ evilª can comeª° upon¹ us." {Mic 3:11} + "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} + "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} + "Mine heartª withinª me is brokenª° because of the prophets;ª all¹ my bonesª shake;ª° I am¹ like a drunkenª man,ª and like a manª whom wineª hath overcome,ª° becauseª¹ of the LORD,ª and because¹¹ of the wordsª of his holiness.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 23:9-17} + "Which thinkª° to cause¹ my peopleª to forgetª° my nameª by their dreamsª which¹ they tellª° every manª to his neighbour,ª as¹ their fathersª have forgottenª°¹ my nameª for Baal.ª" {Jer 23:27} + "Behold,¹ I [am] against¹ them that prophesyª° falseª dreams,ª saithª° the LORD,ª and do tellª° them, and cause¹ my peopleª to errª° by their lies,ª and by their lightness;ª yet I¹ sentª° them not,¹ nor¹ commandedª° them: therefore they shall not¹ profit²° this people² at all,ª°¹¹ saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 23:32} + "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} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts,ª the Godª of Israel,ª of¹ Ahabª the sonª of Kolaiah,ª and of¹ Zedekiahª the sonª of Maaseiah,ª which prophesyª° a lieª unto you in my name;ª Behold,¹ I will deliverª° them into the handª of Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylon;ª and he shall slayª° them before your eyes;ª ... 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 29:21-23} + "Because,¹ even because¹ they have seducedª°¹ my people,ª saying,ª° Peace;ª and [there was] no¹ peace;ª and one¹ built upª° a wall,ª and, lo,ª others daubedª° it with untemperedª [morter]: ... [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} + "[There is] a conspiracyª of her prophetsª in the midstª thereof, like a roaringª° lionª raveningª° the prey;ª they have devouredª° souls;ª they have takenª° the treasureª and precious things;ª they have made her manyª° widowsª in the midstª thereof. ... The peopleª of the landª have used¹ oppression,ª²° and exercisedª° robbery,ª and have vexedª° the poorª and needy:ª yea, they have oppressedª° the strangerª wrongfully.ª¹" {Ezk 22:25-29} + "But ye¹ are departedª° out of¹ the way;ª ye have caused many² to stumbleª°¹ at the law;ª ye have corruptedª° the covenantª of Levi,ª saithª° the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Mal 2:8} + "Let²° them² alone:ª°¹ they beª° blindª leadersª of the blind.ª Andª ifª the blindª leadª° the blind,ª bothª shall fallª° intoª the ditch.ª" {Mtt 15:14}
