Jeremiah

Jeremiah 27:9–10

⁹But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ ¹⁰For they prophesy to you a lie that will serve to remove you from your land; I will banish you and you will perish.
