ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૨૭:૧૪
જે પ્રબોધકો તમને એમ કહે છે કે, ‘તમે બાબિલના રાજાની સેવા કરશો નહિ,’ તેમની વાત તમારે સાંભળવી નહિ. તેઓ તમને ખોટું ભવિષ્ય કહે છે.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह २७:१४
जो भविष्यद्वक्ता तुझ से कहते हैं, ‘तुझको बाबेल के राजा के अधीन न होना पड़ेगा,’ उनकी मत सुन; क्योंकि वे तुझ से झूठी भविष्यद्वाणी करते हैं।

In context

12I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

13Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

14Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you.

15For I have not sent them,” says the LORD, “but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.”

16Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, the LORD says, “Don’t listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of the LORD’s house will now shortly be brought again from Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you.
