Destructive Doctrines
2 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be (A)false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction [a]does not slumber.

Jeremiah 23:25-32
New King James Version
25 “I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ 26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart, 27 who try to make My people forget My name by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor, (A)as their fathers forgot My name for Baal.
28 “The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream;
And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat?” says the Lord.
29 “Is not My word like a (B)fire?” says the Lord,
“And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
30 “Therefore behold, (C)I am against the prophets,” says the Lord, “who steal My words every one from his neighbor. 31 Behold, I am (D)against the prophets,” says the Lord, “who use their tongues and say, ‘He says.’ 32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” says the Lord, “and tell them, and cause My people to err by their (E)lies and by (F)their recklessness. Yet I did not send them or command them; therefore they shall not (G)profit this people at all,” says the Lord.

Isaiah 9:15-17
New King James Version
15 The elder and honorable, he is the head;
The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 For (A)the leaders of this people cause them to err,
And those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord (B)will have no joy in their young men,
Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
And every mouth speaks [a]folly.
(C)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
