Jeremiah 14:13-16
New American Standard Bible 1995
False Prophets
13 But, “Ah, Lord [a]God!” I said, “Look, the prophets are telling them, ‘You (A)will not see the sword nor will you have famine, but I will give you [b]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 [c]minds. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord 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’—(F)by sword and famine those prophets shall [d]meet their end! 16 The people also to whom they are prophesying will be (G)thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and there will be no one to (H)bury them—neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters—for I will (I)pour out their own wickedness on them.

Zechariah 13:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 “It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord of hosts, “that I will (A)cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and I will also remove the (B)prophets and the (C)unclean spirit from the land. 3 And if anyone still (D)prophesies, then his father and mother who gave birth to him will say to him, ‘You shall (E)not live, for you have spoken (F)falsely in the name of the Lord’; and his (G)father and mother who gave birth to him will pierce him through when he prophesies. 4 Also it will come about in that day that the prophets will each be (H)ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not put on a (I)hairy robe in order to deceive;
