'False Prophets' in the Bible
Frustrating the signs and confounding the omens of boasters (false prophets),Making fools out of fortune-tellers,Counteracting the wiseAnd making their knowledge ridiculous,
Do not trust in the deceptive and lying words [of the false prophets who claim that Jerusalem will be protected by God because of the temple], saying, ‘This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.’
For the land is full of adulterers (unfaithful to God);The land mourns because of the curse [of God upon it].The pastures of the wilderness have dried up.The course of action [of the false prophets] is evil and they rush into wickedness;And their power is not right.
“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies to you in My Name, ‘Behold, I will hand them over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will slaughter them before your eyes [yes, all the false prophets in Babylon whom you follow shall die]!
They wandered, blind, in the streets;They were defiled with bloodSo that no one could touch their garments.
‘Do not speak out,’ so they speak out.But if they do not speak out concerning these things,Reproaches will not be turned back.
Thus says the Lord concerning the [false] prophets who lead my people astray;When they have something good to bite with their teeth,They call out, “Peace,”But against the one who gives them nothing to eat,They declare a holy war.
Therefore it will be night (tragedy) for you—without vision,And darkness (cataclysm) for you—without foresight.The sun shall go down on the [false] prophets,And the day shall become dark and black over them.
