The Lord’s response makes it clear that these prophets have spoken lies in my name.
He did not send them, command them or speak to them. Their message is simply a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.
The words used to describe the source of their message suggests an origin that goes beyond just deceitful human minds, but to the father of lies himself, the great deceiver who twists the Lord’s promises (Genesis 3:1–5).
14 Et l'Eternel me dit: C'est le mensonge que prophétisent en mon nom les prophètes; Je ne les ai point envoyés, je ne leur ai point donné d'ordre, Je ne leur ai point parlé; Ce sont des visions mensongères, de vaines prédictions, Des tromperies de leur cœur, qu'ils vous prophétisent.
