13 “If a prophet or (A)a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and (B)the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God (C)is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 You shall (D)walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and (E)hold fast to him. 5 But (F)that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, to make you leave the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. (G)So you shall purge the evil[a] from your midst.

Jeremiah 23:13-15
English Standard Version
13 In the prophets of (A)Samaria
(B)I saw an unsavory thing:
(C)they prophesied by Baal
(D)and led my people Israel astray.
14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
(E)they commit adultery and walk in lies;
(F)they strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
(G)all of them have become like Sodom to me,
(H)and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
(I)“Behold, I will feed them with bitter food
(J)and give them (K)poisoned water to drink,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”

They are prophesying to you a lying vision, (C)worthless divination, and (D)the deceit of their own minds. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although (E)I did not send them, and who say, (F)‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: (G)By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed.
