¹² But to those who were separate you gave wine for drink; and to the prophets you said, Be prophets no longer.

¹³ But be a prophet no longer at Beth-el: for it is the holy place of the king, and the king's house.

¹⁰ Who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Do not give us word of what is true, but say false things to give us pleasure:

⁶ Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!

²¹ So this is what the Lord of armies has said about the men of Anathoth who have made designs against your life, saying, You are not to be a prophet in the name of the Lord, or death will overtake you by our hands:

¹⁶ Now then, give ear to the word of the Lord: You say, Be no prophet to Israel, and say not a word against the people of Isaac.
