- the diviners:
- "I have heardª°¹ what¹ the prophetsª said,ª° that prophesyª° liesª in my name,ª saying,ª° I have dreamed,ª° I have dreamed.ª° ... 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 23:25-27} + "Therefore hearkenª° not¹ ye¹ to¹ your prophets,ª nor to¹ your diviners,ª° nor to¹ your dreamers,ª nor to¹ your enchanters,ª° nor to¹ your sorcerers,ª which¹¹ speakª° unto¹ you, saying,ª° Ye shall not¹ serveª°¹ the kingª of Babylon:ª" {Jer 27:9} + "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°" {Jer 29:8} + "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 ... And of¹ them shall be taken upª° a curseª by all¹ the captivityª of Judahª which¹ [are] in Babylon,ª saying,ª° The LORDª makeª° thee like Zedekiahª and like Ahab,ª whom¹ the kingª of Babylonª roastedª° in the fire;ª" {Jer 29:21-22} + "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} + "They have seenª° vanityª and lyingª divination,ª saying,ª° The LORDª saith:ª° and the LORDª hath not¹ sentª° them: and they have made [others] to hopeª° that they would confirmª° the word.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 13:6-16} + "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} + "Whiles they seeª° vanityª unto thee, whiles they divineª° a lieª unto thee, to bringª° thee upon¹ the necksª of [them that are] slain,ª of the wicked,ª whose¹ day²¹ is come,ª° whenª their iniquityª [shall have] an end.ª" {Ezk 21:29} + "Therefore¹ nightª [shall be] unto you, that ye shall not have a vision;ª¹ and it shall be darkª°° unto you, that ye shall not divine;ª°¹ and the sunª shall go downª° over¹ the prophets,ª and the dayª shall be darkª° over¹ them. ... 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 3:6-11}
