Jeremiah 6:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 “For (A)from the least of them to the greatest of them,
Everyone is (B)greedy for gain,
And from the prophet to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
14 They have (C)healed the brokenness of My people superficially,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
But there is no peace.
15 Were they (D)ashamed because of the abomination they had done?
They were not ashamed at all,
Nor did they know even how to be ashamed.
Therefore they will fall among those who fall;
At the time that I punish them,
They will collapse,” says the Lord.
Jeremiah 8:11-12
New American Standard Bible
11 They have (A)healed the brokenness of the daughter of My people superficially,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
But there is no peace.
12 Were they (B)ashamed because of the abomination they had done?
They were not ashamed at all,
And they did not know how to be ashamed;
Therefore they will (C)fall among those who fall;
At the (D)time of their punishment they will collapse,”
Says the Lord.
Jeremiah 14:13-14
New American Standard Bible
False Prophets
13 But I said, “Oh, Lord [a]God! Behold, the prophets are telling them, ‘You (A)will not see a sword, nor will you have famine; on the contrary, I will give you lasting (B)peace in this place.’” 14 Then the Lord said to me, “The (C)prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. (D)I have neither sent them nor commanded them, nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a (E)false vision, divination, futility, and the deception of their own [b]minds.

Jeremiah 23:16-17
New American Standard Bible
16 This is what the Lord of armies says:
“(A)Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you.
They are (B)leading you into futility;
They tell a (C)vision of their own [a]imagination,
Not (D)from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They keep saying to those who (E)despise Me,
‘The Lord has said, “(F)You will have peace”’;
And as for everyone who walks in the (G)stubbornness of his own heart,
They say, ‘(H)Disaster will not come on you.’
