H5012Behold, I am against them that prophesy[H8737] H8267falseH2472dreamsH5002, saith[H8803] H3068the LORDH5608, and do tell[H8762] H5971them, and cause my peopleH8582to err[H8686] H8267by their liesH6350, and by their lightnessH7971; yet I sent[H8804] H6680them not, nor commanded[H8765] H3276them: therefore they shall not profit[H8686] H5971this peopleH3276at all[H8687] H5002, saith[H8803] H3068the LORD.
H7200I have seen[H8804] H5030also in the prophetsH3389of JerusalemH8186an horrible thingH5003: they commit adultery[H8800] H1980, and walk[H8800] H8267in liesH2388: they strengthen[H8765] H3027also the handsH7489of evildoers[H8688] H376, that noneH7725doth return[H8804] H7451from his wickednessH5467: they are all of them unto me as SodomH3427, and the inhabitants[H8802] H6017thereof as Gomorrah.
H3068Then the LORDH559said[H8799] H5030unto me, The prophetsH5012prophesy[H8737] H8267liesH8034in my nameH7971: I sent[H8804] H6680them not, neither have I commanded[H8765] H1696them, neither spake[H8765] H5012unto them: they prophesy[H8693] H8267unto you a falseH2377visionH7081and divinationH457, and a thing of nought[H8675] H434 H8649, and the deceitH3820of their heart.
H4428Then the kingH3478of IsraelH6908gatheredH5030the prophetsH6908together[H8799] H702, about fourH3967hundredH376menH559, and said[H8799] H3212unto them, Shall I go[H8799] H7433against RamothgileadH1568 H4421to battleH2308, or shall I forbear[H8799] H559? And they said[H8799] H5927, Go up[H8798] H136; for the LordH5414shall deliver[H8799] H3027it into the handH4428of the king.
H7218The headsH8199thereof judge[H8799] H7810for rewardH3548, and the priestsH3384thereof teach[H8686] H4242for hireH5030, and the prophetsH7080thereof divine[H8799] H3701for moneyH8172: yet will they lean[H8735] H3068upon the LORDH559, and say[H8800] H3068, Is not the LORDH7130amongH7451us? none evilH935can come[H8799] upon us.
H559He said[H8799] H5030unto him, I am a prophetH4397also as thou art; and an angelH1696spake[H8765] H1697unto me by the wordH3068of the LORDH559, saying[H8800] H7725, Bring him back[H8685] H1004with thee into thine houseH398, that he may eat[H8799] H3899breadH8354and drink[H8799] H4325waterH3584. But he lied[H8765] unto him.
H428But theyH7686also have erred[H8804] H3196through wineH7941, and through strong drinkH8582are out of the way[H8804] H3548; the priestH5030and the prophetH7686have erred[H8804] H7941through strong drinkH1104, they are swallowed up[H8738] H4480ofH3196wineH8582, they are out of the way[H8804] H7941through strong drinkH7686; they err[H8804] H7203in visionH6328, they stumble[H8804] H6417in judgment.
