Jeremiah 23:11-17
New International Version
Jeremiah 23:11-17
New International Version
11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(A)
even in my temple(B) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(C)
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,(D)”
declares the Lord.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(E)
and led my people Israel astray.(F)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(G)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(H)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(I)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(J)
They are all like Sodom(K) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(L)
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
“I will make them eat bitter food
and drink poisoned water,(M)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness(N) has spread throughout the land.”
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Do not listen(O) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(P) from their own minds,
not from the mouth(Q) of the Lord.
17 They keep saying(R) to those who despise me,
‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(S)
And to all who follow the stubbornness(T) of their hearts
they say, ‘No harm(U) will come to you.’
Jeremiah 23:11-17
King James Version
Jeremiah 23:11-17
King James Version
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

Isaiah 56:10-12
New International Version
10 Israel’s watchmen(A) are blind,
they all lack knowledge;(B)
they are all mute dogs,
they cannot bark;
they lie around and dream,
they love to sleep.(C)
11 They are dogs with mighty appetites;
they never have enough.
They are shepherds(D) who lack understanding;(E)
they all turn to their own way,(F)
they seek their own gain.(G)
12 “Come,” each one cries, “let me get wine!(H)
Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
or even far better.”(I)

King James Version
Isaiah 56:10-12
King James Version
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

False Teachers and Their Destruction
2 But there were also false prophets(A) among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.(B) They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord(C) who bought them(D)—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct(E) and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed(F) these teachers will exploit you(G) with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

King James Version
2 Peter 2:1-3
King James Version
2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
