“Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.”
God's promise to punish prophets who prophesy false dreams and lead people astray with their lies represents the comprehensive judgment on false prophecy. The prohibition against such prophets represents God's clear position against deception and falsehood. The reference to people being led astray shows the damage false prophecy does. The verse announces that God will not tolerate false prophecy indefinitely.
