他們以我的名義對你們說假預言，其實我並沒有差遣他們。這是耶和華說的。」

我沒有使義人憂傷，你們卻以謊言叫他們灰心。你們慫恿惡人不要改邪歸正，以致他們喪命。因此，你們必不再見假異象，也不再占卜。我必從你們手中拯救我的子民。這樣，你們就知道我是耶和華。』」

耶和華對我說：「那些先知奉我的名說假預言，我並沒有差派他們，沒有委任他們，也沒有對他們說話。他們對你們說的預言是假異象，是占卜，是憑空捏造。我沒有差派他們，他們卻奉我的名說這地方必沒有戰爭和饑荒。他們必死於戰爭和饑荒。這是耶和華說的。

所以主耶和華說：「因為你們的假異象和謊言，我要攻擊你們。這是主耶和華說的。我必動手攻擊那些見假異象、說假預言的先知。他們必從我的子民當中被剔除，不被收錄在以色列人的名冊上，也不能進入以色列的土地。這樣，你們就知道我是主耶和華。因為他們欺騙我的子民說，『平安！』其實並沒有平安，就像有人築了一道薄牆，用白灰加以粉飾。所以，你要警告那些粉刷白灰的人，說，『牆必倒塌，暴雨要來臨，冰雹勢必降下，狂風也必大作。』牆倒塌之後，一定會有人問，『你們粉飾的白灰在哪裡呢？』主耶和華說，『我必在烈怒中用狂風暴雨和冰雹來摧毀這牆，我必把你們粉飾的牆夷為平地，使其露出根基。牆倒塌的時候，你們必葬身其中。這樣，你們就知道我是耶和華。我要向這牆和粉飾這牆的人發怒，懲罰他們。我告訴你們，這牆完了！粉飾這牆的人也完了！』他們就是那些向耶路撒冷說假預言，在沒有平安的時候宣稱看到了平安異象的以色列先知。這是主耶和華說的。」

因為他們二人在以色列做了惡事，與他人的妻子通姦。我沒有差派他們，他們卻奉我的名說假預言。我知道他們的所作所為，我對這一切瞭若指掌。』這是耶和華說的。」耶和華吩咐我對尼希蘭人示瑪雅說：

「我沒有差遣這些先知，他們卻妄自行動；我沒有對他們說話，他們卻亂發預言。

耶利米先知就對哈拿尼雅先知說：「哈拿尼雅，聽著！耶和華並沒有派你來，你卻誘使這些民眾相信你的謊話。因此，耶和華說，『我要把你從世上除掉，你今年必死，因為你背叛了耶和華。』」哈拿尼雅先知便在當年七月死了。

以往曾經有假先知在百姓中出現，將來在你們中間也同樣會有假教師出現。他們暗地裡引進使人沉淪的異端邪說，甚至否認那位買贖他們的主。這些人正迅速地自招滅亡。
