Don’t listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. Eph 5:62Th 2:9-11Jer 5:312Pe 2:2-32Ti 3:13Jer 14:14Jer 27:14-15Jer 27:9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name. I have not sent them,” says the LORD. Jer 27:15Jer 29:31Jer 29:23 For the LORD says, “After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

Because you have said, “The LORD has raised us up prophets in Babylon,” Ezk 1:1Ezk 1:3Jer 28:1-17Jer 29:8-9 the LORD says concerning the king who sits on David’s throne, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who haven’t gone with you into captivity, Jer 38:17-23Jer 38:2-3Ezk 17:12-21Ezk 21:9-27Ezk 22:31Ezk 24:1-14Ezk 6:1-9Jer 24:2 the LORD of Armies says: “Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like rotten figs that can’t be eaten, they are so bad.

Jer 6:19Jer 26:5Heb 12:25Jer 25:3-7Jer 34:17Jer 35:14-16Jer 7:13Jer 7:24-26
Hear therefore the LORD’s word, all you captives whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon. Jer 24:5Mic 4:10Ezk 3:11Ezk 3:15 The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name: “Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he will kill them before your eyes. Jer 14:14-15Jer 29:8-9Lam 2:14 A curse will be taken up about them by all the captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘The LORD make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;’ Dan 3:6Isa 65:15Dan 3:21Gen 48:201Co 16:22Rut 4:11 because they have done foolish things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I didn’t command them. I am he who knows, and am witness,” says the LORD. Heb 4:13Jer 23:14Mal 3:5Jer 16:17Jer 29:21Jer 29:8-9Pro 5:212Pe 2:10-19
Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying, Jer 29:31-32 “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying, Jer 29:29Jer 37:3Jer 52:241Ki 21:8-132Ch 32:172Ki 10:1-72Ki 19:142Ki 19:9 “The LORD has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the LORD’s house, for every man who is crazy and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles. Jer 20:1-22Ki 9:11Act 26:24Hos 9:7Jhn 10:20Act 16:24Deu 13:1-5Mrk 3:21 Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you, 2Ch 25:162Ti 3:8Act 4:17-21Act 5:28Act 5:40Amo 7:12-13Jer 1:1Jer 29:26 because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long. Build houses, and dwell in them. Plant gardens, and eat their fruit?”’” Jer 29:5Jer 29:1Jer 29:10
Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet. Jer 29:25 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying, “Send to all of the captives, saying, ‘The LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I didn’t send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie,” Jer 29:9Ezk 13:22-23Ezk 13:8-16Jer 14:14-15Jer 29:23-242Pe 2:1Jer 23:21Jer 28:15-17 therefore the LORD says, “Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. He will not have a man to dwell among this people. He won’t see the good that I will do to my people,” says the LORD, “because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD.”’” Jer 28:162Ki 7:19-20Jer 17:61Sa 2:30-342Ki 7:2Jer 22:302Ki 5:27Amo 7:17
