⁹ I will raise my fist against all the prophets who see false visions and make lying predictions, and they will be banished from the community of Israel.

¹⁹ And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.
