“ Send a message to all the people who were taken away. Tell them,‘ The Lord speaks about Shemaiah, the Nehelamite. He says,“ Shemaiah has prophesied to you. But I did not send him. He has made you trust in lies.

因為他們是冒我的名以虛假傳神言；我並沒有差遣他們：這是永恆主發神諭說的。

因為你們弄虛假事叫義人灰心（並不是我使他灰心），你們又加強惡人的手，使他不回轉離開壞行徑以救活自己，故此你們就不得以見虛謊的異象，也不得以再行占卜；我乃是要援救我人民脫離你們的手；你們就知道我乃是永恆主。』

於是永恆主對我說：『那些神言人是冒我名傳虛假為神言的；我並沒有差遣他們，沒有吩咐他們，也沒有對他們說話；他們向你們發神言狂的乃是虛假的異象、無用的占卜、和他們自己心裏的詭詐。因此永恆主這麼說：論到那些冒我名來傳講的神言人，我沒有差遣他們，而他們還說「這地必不會遭遇刀劍和饑荒」的，那些神言人自己倒要被刀劍和饑荒滅絕呢。

因此主永恆主這麼說：『因為你們說的是虛謊，見的是謊詐，那麼你就看吧，我是跟你們作對的：主永恆主發神諭說。我的手必攻擊那見虛謊異象的、攻擊那以謊詐占卜的神言人；他們必不得以列在我人民的議會中，不得以錄在以色列家的族譜上，也不得以進入以色列地；你們就知道我乃是主永恆主。因為他們真地領導我人民走錯了路，說：「平安」，其實沒有平安。就像人、築了薄弱的牆，假神言人倒用灰水去塗抹。所以你要對那些塗抹灰水的人說：那牆是一定倒下來的；必有大雨漫過；大冰雹必降下來！狂風必暴發。看吧，這牆倒下來之後，人豈不指着它而問你們說：「你們塗抹的灰水在哪裏呢？」因此主永恆主這麼說：我一定要在我烈怒中使狂風暴發起來；在我忿怒中必有大雨漫過；大冰雹必在烈怒中降下來毁滅這牆。我必這樣拆毁這牆、就是你們用灰水所塗抹過的，使它坍到平地，以致根基都露現出來；牆一倒壞，你們也必在那中間滅盡；你們就知道我乃是永恆主。我必這樣向這牆、並向那用灰水抹牆的人、發盡我的烈怒；我要對你們說：牆沒有了！抹牆的人也沒有了！這抹牆的就是以色列的神言人，他們指着耶路撒冷而傳神言，為了這城見了異象，說有平安，其實沒有平安：這是主永恆主發神諭說的。

因為這二人在以色列中行了癡醜的事，跟鄰舍的妻子行姦淫，又冒我的名說虛假話，是我未曾吩咐他們說的；但知道的是我，作見證的也是我：這是永恆主發神諭說的。」』論到尼希蘭人示瑪雅、你要說：

『我沒有差遣那些神言人，他們竟自奔跑；我沒有對他們說話，他們竟自傳神言。

於是神言人耶利米對神言人哈拿尼雅說：『哈拿尼雅啊，你要聽；永恆主並沒有差遣你；你、竟使這人民倚靠着虛假。因此永恆主這麼說：「看吧，我必打發你離開塵世；就在今年、你就一定死；因為你說了叛逆永恆主的話。」』就在那年七月間、神言人哈拿尼雅就死了。

但從前在民間竟有了假的神言人呢；照樣子、在你們中間也必有假的教師。這種人必私下引進使人滅亡的派別來，連買他們的主、他們也否認，自己引着迅速快到的滅亡。
