他们以我的名义对你们说假预言，其实我并没有差遣他们。这是耶和华说的。”

我没有使义人忧伤，你们却以谎言叫他们灰心。你们怂恿恶人不要改邪归正，以致他们丧命。因此，你们必不再见假异象，也不再占卜。我必从你们手中拯救我的子民。这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。’”

耶和华对我说：“那些先知奉我的名说假预言，我并没有差派他们，没有委任他们，也没有对他们说话。他们对你们说的预言是假异象，是占卜，是凭空捏造。我没有差派他们，他们却奉我的名说这地方必没有战争和饥荒。他们必死于战争和饥荒。这是耶和华说的。

所以主耶和华说：“因为你们的假异象和谎言，我要攻击你们。这是主耶和华说的。我必动手攻击那些见假异象、说假预言的先知。他们必从我的子民当中被剔除，不被收录在以色列人的名册上，也不能进入以色列的土地。这样，你们就知道我是主耶和华。因为他们欺骗我的子民说，‘平安！’其实并没有平安，就像有人筑了一道薄墙，用白灰加以粉饰。所以，你要警告那些粉刷白灰的人，说，‘墙必倒塌，暴雨要来临，冰雹势必降下，狂风也必大作。’墙倒塌之后，一定会有人问，‘你们粉饰的白灰在哪里呢？’主耶和华说，‘我必在烈怒中用狂风暴雨和冰雹来摧毁这墙，我必把你们粉饰的墙夷为平地，使其露出根基。墙倒塌的时候，你们必葬身其中。这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。我要向这墙和粉饰这墙的人发怒，惩罚他们。我告诉你们，这墙完了！粉饰这墙的人也完了！’他们就是那些向耶路撒冷说假预言，在没有平安的时候宣称看到了平安异象的以色列先知。这是主耶和华说的。”

因为他们二人在以色列做了恶事，与他人的妻子通奸。我没有差派他们，他们却奉我的名说假预言。我知道他们的所作所为，我对这一切了如指掌。’这是耶和华说的。”耶和华吩咐我对尼希兰人示玛雅说：

“我没有差遣这些先知，他们却妄自行动；我没有对他们说话，他们却乱发预言。

耶利米先知就对哈拿尼雅先知说：“哈拿尼雅，听着！耶和华并没有派你来，你却诱使这些民众相信你的谎话。因此，耶和华说，‘我要把你从世上除掉，你今年必死，因为你背叛了耶和华。’”哈拿尼雅先知便在当年七月死了。

以往曾经有假先知在百姓中出现，将来在你们中间也同样会有假教师出现。他们暗地里引进使人沉沦的异端邪说，甚至否认那位买赎他们的主。这些人正迅速地自招灭亡。
