⁷ Have you not seen a vision without substance and have you not falsely made use of secret arts, when you say, The Lord has said; though I have said nothing?

² Son of man, be a prophet against the prophets of Israel, and say to those prophets whose words are the invention of their hearts, Give ear to the word of the Lord;

³ This is what the Lord has said: A curse on the foolish prophets who go after the spirit which is in them and have seen nothing!

⁶ They have seen visions without substance and made use of secret arts, who say, The Lord has said; and the Lord has not sent them: hoping that the word would have effect.

²³ Then if any man says to you, See, here is the Christ, or, Here; do not put faith in him;

²⁴ For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.
