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.

⁴⁶ Son of man, let your face be turned to the south, let your words be dropped to the south, and be a prophet against the woodland of the South;

² Son of man, let your face be turned to Jerusalem, let your words be dropped in the direction of her holy place, and be a prophet against the land of Israel;

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

² My teaching is dropping like rain, coming down like dew on the fields; like rain on the young grass and showers on the garden plants:

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

¹⁶ Then Samuel said to Saul, Say no more! Let me give you word of what the Lord has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.

¹⁹ And he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, with all the army of heaven in their places round him at his right hand and at his left.

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:

¹⁵ Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Give ear, now, Hananiah; the Lord has not sent you; but you are making this people put their faith in what is false.

¹⁶ For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will send you away from off the face of the earth: this year death will overtake you, because you have said words against the Lord.

¹⁷ So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.
