¹⁴ Then the Lord said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies^(A) in my name. I have not sent^(B) them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions,^(C) divinations,^(D) idolatries^[a] and the delusions of their own minds.

⁶ And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into exile to Babylon. There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied^(A) lies.’”

²⁵ “I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies^(A) in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream!^(B) I had a dream!’ ²⁶ How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions^(C) of their own minds?^(D)

³² Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,^(A)” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray^(B) with their reckless lies,^(C) yet I did not send^(D) or appoint them. They do not benefit^(E) these people in the least,” declares the Lord.

¹⁰ They prophesy lies^(A) to you that will only serve to remove^(B) you far from your lands; I will banish you and you will perish.

¹⁴ Do not listen^(A) to the words of the prophets^(B) who say to you, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying lies^(C) to you. ¹⁵ ‘I have not sent^(D) them,’ declares the Lord. ‘They are prophesying lies in my name.^(E) Therefore, I will banish you and you will perish,^(F) both you and the prophets who prophesy to you.’”

¹⁶ Then I said to the priests and all these people, “This is what the Lord says: Do not listen to the prophets who say, ‘Very soon now the articles^(G) from the Lord’s house will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying lies to you.
