Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, and I did not send them, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams, says the LORD, and tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their shallowness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the LORD.
They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
And how shall they preach, unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who secretly shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord who purchased them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And through covetousness shall they with deceitful words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now for a long time has not delayed, and their damnation does not slumber.
