⁵ But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be ^(A)put to death, because he has spoken falsely against the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of ^[a]slavery, ^(B)to drive you from the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. ^(C)So you shall eliminate the evil from among you.

²⁰ But the prophet who speaks a word ^(A)presumptuously in My name, a word which I have not commanded him to speak, or ^(B)which he speaks in the name of other gods, ^[a]that prophet shall die.’

¹⁵ Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My name, although it was not I who sent them—yet they keep saying: ‘There will be no sword or famine in this land’—^(A)by sword and famine those prophets shall meet their end!

Eight Woes

¹³ “^(A)But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, ^(B)because you shut the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter it yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.^[a]

¹⁶ “Woe to you, ^(A)blind guides, who say, ‘^(B)Whoever swears by the ^[a]temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the ^[b]temple is obligated.’

²³ “^(A)Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and ^[a]cumin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the Law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

²⁷ “^(A)Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.

³³ You snakes, ^(A)you ^[a]offspring of vipers, how ^[b]will you escape the ^[c]sentence of ^[d](B)hell?

⁸ But even if we, or ^(A)an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be ^[a](B)accursed! ⁹ As we ^(C)have said before, even now I say again: ^(D)if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be ^[b](E)accursed!
