Jeremiah 29:23
New King James Version
23 because (A)they have done disgraceful things in Israel, have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken lying words in My name, which I have not commanded them. Indeed I (B)know, and am a witness, says the Lord.
Malachi 3:5
New King James Version
5 And I will come near you for judgment;
I will be a swift witness
Against sorcerers,
Against adulterers,
(A)Against perjurers,
Against those who (B)exploit wage earners and (C)widows and orphans,
And against those who turn away an alien—
Because they do not fear Me,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
Jeremiah 23:14
New King James Version
14 Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem:
(A)They commit adultery and walk in lies;
They also (B)strengthen the hands of evildoers,
So that no one turns back from his wickedness.
All of them are like (C)Sodom to Me,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
Hebrews 4:13
New King James Version
13 (A)And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are (B)naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Jeremiah 29:8-9

8 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst (A)deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. 9 For they prophesy (B)falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the Lord.

Jude 8-11
New King James Version
8 (A)Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and (B)speak evil of [a]dignitaries. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, in [b]contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, (C)“The Lord rebuke you!” 10 (D)But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way (E)of Cain, (F)have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished (G)in the rebellion of Korah.

2 Peter 2:10-19
New King James Version
10 and especially (A)those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. (B)They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of [a]dignitaries, 11 whereas (C)angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
Depravity of False Teachers
12 But these, (D)like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 (E)and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure (F)to [b]carouse in the daytime. (G)They are spots and blemishes, [c]carousing in their own deceptions while (H)they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of [d]adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. (I)They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. 15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of (J)Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet.
17 (K)These are wells without water, [e]clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness [f]forever.
Deceptions of False Teachers
18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who [g]have actually escaped from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of [h]corruption; (L)for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into [i]bondage.

Malachi 2:14
New King James Version
14 Yet you say, “For what reason?”
Because the Lord has been witness
Between you and (A)the wife of your youth,
With whom you have dealt treacherously;
(B)Yet she is your companion
And your wife by covenant.

Her priests have [a]polluted the sanctuary,
They have done (B)violence to the law.

Woe to you, O Jerusalem!
Will you still not be made clean?”
Jeremiah 7:9-10
New King James Version
9 (A)Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and (B)walk after other gods whom you do not know, 10 (C)and then come and stand before Me in this house (D)which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered to do all these abominations’?

And have been a (C)partaker with adulterers.
