For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Let not your prophets and your diviners who are in the midst of you deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

For they prophesy falsely unto you in My name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.

Then the LORD said unto me, "The prophets prophesy lies in My name. I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke unto them. They prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought and the deceit of their heart.

Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in My name, whom I sent not, yet they say, `Sword and famine shall not be in this land': By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee; and they have not exposed thine iniquity, to return you from captivity, but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
