⁹ And the woman said unto him, "Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath destroyed the women that had prophesying spirits, and the sorcerers, out of the land. Wherefore then layest thou a net for my soul to kill me?"

¹³ And so Saul died for his trespass that he trespassed against the LORD, in that he kept not the word of the LORD, and in that he asked counsel of a woman that wrought with a spirit,

³ And he offered cense in the valley of the children of Hinnom, and burnt his children in fire after the abomination of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

⁶ And he burnt his children in fire in the valley of the sons of Hinnom. And he observed dismal days and occupied witchcraft and sorcery, and maintained workers with spirits and seers of fortunes: and wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to anger him withal.

³⁷ Yea, they offered their sons and their daughters unto devils, ³⁸ and shed the innocent blood of their sons and of their daughters; whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan, so that the land was defiled with blood.

¹⁹ And therefore if they say unto you, "Ask counsel at the soothsayers, witches, charmers and conjurers," then make them this answer: "Is there a people anywhere, that asketh not counsel at his God? Should they run unto the dead for the living?" ²⁰ If any man want light, let him look upon the law and the testimony whether they speak not after this meaning.

They have filled this place also with the blood of innocents, ⁵ for they have set up an altar unto Baal, to burn their children for a burnt offering unto Baal, which I neither commanded, nor charged them, neither thought once thereupon. ⁶ Behold therefore, the time cometh, sayeth the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the children of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.

³⁵ They have builded high places for Baal in the valley of the children of Hinnom, to cause their sons and daughters to pass through fire in honor of Moloch: which I never commanded them, neither came it ever in my thought, to make Judah sin with such abomination.

¹¹ Then said the woman, "Whom shall I fetch up unto thee?" And he said, "Bring me up Samuel." ¹² When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice and spake to Saul, saying, "Why hast thou mocked me? For thou art Saul." ¹³ And the king said unto her, "Be not afraid. But what seest thou?" And the woman said unto Saul, "I see a god ascending up out of the earth." ¹⁴ And he said, "What fashion is he of?" And the woman said, "There cometh up an old man with a mantle upon him." And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and stooped with his face to the ground and bowed himself.

²⁴ Defile not yourselves in any of these things, for with all these things are these nations defiled which I cast out before you:

²⁷ — for all these abominations have the men of the land done which were there before you, and the land is defiled -

⁴ Speak not in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out before thee, saying, 'For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land.' Nay, but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth cast them out before thee.

²¹ And they asked him, "What then? Art thou Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." Art thou that prophet? And he answered, "No."

²⁵ And they asked him, and said unto him, "Why baptisest thou then, if thou be not Christ, nor Elijah, neither a prophet?"

⁴⁵ And Philip found Nathaniel, and said unto him, "We have found him of whom Moses, in the law and the prophets, did write: Jesus, the son of Joseph of Nazareth."

²⁹ Jesus answered, and said unto them, "This is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."

²² For Moses said unto the fathers, 'A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, even of your brethren, like unto me: him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. ²³ For the time will come, that every soul which shall not hear that same prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.'

³⁷ This is that Moses which said unto the children of Israel, 'A prophet shall the Lord God raise up unto you, of your brethren, like unto me: him shall ye hear.'

⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, which is the man Christ Jesus,

¹ God, in time past, diversely and many ways, spake unto the fathers by prophets: ² but in these last days he hath spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath made heir of all things: by whom also he made the world.

¹ Wherefore we ought to give the more heed to the things which we have heard, lest we perish. ² For if the word which was spoken by angels was steadfast — so that every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense to reward - ³ how shall we escape if we despise so great salvation? Which at the first began to be preached of the Lord himself, and afterward was confirmed unto us ward, by them that heard it;

² which was faithful to him that made him even as was Moses in all his house. ³ And this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses; Inasmuch as he which hath prepared the house, hath most honour in the house. ⁴ Every house is prepared of some man. But he that ordained all things is God. ⁵ And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a minister, to bear witness of those things which should be spoken afterward. ⁶ But Christ, as a son, hath rule over the house, whose house we are, so that we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope, unto the end.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave commandment.

¹⁹ And when the people saw it, they removed and stood afar off and said unto Moses, "Talk thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God talk with us, lest we die."

²³ But as soon as ye heard the voice out of the darkness and saw the hill burn with fire, ye came unto me all the heads of your tribes and your elders: ²⁴ and ye said, 'Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the fire, and we have seen this day that God may talk with a man and he yet live. ²⁵ And now wherefore should we die that this great fire should consume us: If we should hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, we should die. ²⁶ For what is any flesh that he should hear the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire as we have done and should yet live: ²⁷ Go thou and hear all that the LORD our God sayeth, and tell thou unto us all that the LORD our God sayeth unto thee, and we will hear it and do it.' ²⁸ And the LORD heard the voice of your words when ye spake unto me, and he said unto me, 'I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoke unto thee, they have well said all that they have said.

¹⁰ And the LORD delivered me two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and in them was according to all the words which the LORD said unto you in the mount out of the fire in the day when the people were gathered together.

¹⁹ neither unto the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words: which voice they that heard it, wished away, that the communication should not be spoken to them.

²⁸ And the LORD heard the voice of your words when ye spake unto me, and he said unto me, 'I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoke unto thee, they have well said all that they have said.

²⁶ And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil, ²⁷ and burnt sweet cense thereon as the LORD commanded Moses. ²⁸ And set up the hanging in the door of the habitation, ²⁹ and set the burnt offering altar before the door of the tabernacle of witness, and offered burnt offerings and meat offerings thereon as the LORD commanded Moses.

⁶ And he said, "Hear my words. If there be a prophet of the LORD's among you, I will show myself unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. ⁷ But my servant Moses is not so, which is faithful in all mine house. ⁸ Unto him I speak mouth to mouth and he seeth the sight and the fashion of the LORD, and not through riddles. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

¹³ And Moses cried unto the LORD saying, "Oh God, heal her."

¹⁵ The LORD thy God will stir up a Prophet among you: even of thy brethren, like unto me, and unto him ye shall hearken

⁵ And he was in the fullness of the king, and held the rulers of the people together, with the tribes of Israel.

⁶ "Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion."

⁴ The LORD sware, and will not repent, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

⁶ For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. Upon his shoulders shall the kingdom lie, and he shall be called with his own name, "Wonderful, the giver of counsel, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace." ⁷ He shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same: to establish it with equity and righteousness, from thenceforth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.

⁴ The LORD God hath given me a well learned tongue, so that I can comfort them which are troubled; yea, and that in due season. He waked mine ear up betimes in the morning, as schoolmasters do; that I might hark.

¹⁶ I shall put my word also in thy mouth, and defend thee with the turning of my hand: that thou mayest plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, "Thou art my people."

¹² And speak unto him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: Behold the man whose name is the branch: and he that shall spring up after him, shall build up the temple of the LORD. ¹³ Yea, even he shall build up the temple of the LORD. He shall bear the praise, he shall sit upon the LORD's throne, and have the domination. A priest shall he be also upon his throne, and a peaceable counsel shall be betwixt them both.

¹ Behold, I send my messenger which shall prepare the way before me. And suddenly shall the Lord whom ye seek, come unto his temple, and the messenger of the covenant whom ye desire. Behold, he cometh saith the LORD Sabaoth.

²⁵ The woman said unto him, "I know well Messiah shall come, which is called Christ. When he is once come, he will tell us all things."

²⁸ Then said Jesus unto them, "When ye have lift up on high the son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; But as my father hath taught me, even so I speak.

⁴⁹ For I have not spoken of myself: but the father which sent me, he gave me a commandment what I should say, and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know well that his commandment is life everlasting. Whatsoever I speak therefore: even as the father bade me, so I speak."

¹⁵ Henceforth, call I you not servants: For the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth. But you have I called friends: For all things that I have heard of my father, I have opened to you.

⁸ For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them, and know surely that I came out from thee: and do believe that thou didst send me.

¹⁸ As thou didst sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world;

¹⁹ Wherefore then serveth the law? The law was added because of transgression — till the seed came, to which the promise was made — and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. ²⁰ A mediator is not a mediator of one. But God is one.

²² And for that cause was Jesus an establisher of a better testament.

²⁴ and to Jesus, the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood that speaketh better than the blood of Abel. ²⁵ See that ye despise not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not which refused him that spake on earth; Much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptised, shall be saved: But he that believeth not, shall be damned.

³ how shall we escape if we despise so great salvation? Which at the first began to be preached of the Lord himself, and afterward was confirmed unto us ward, by them that heard it;

⁷ Wherefore, as the holy ghost saith, "Today if ye shall hear his voice,

²⁶ For if we sin willingly after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins:

²⁵ See that ye despise not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not which refused him that spake on earth; Much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth, and now declareth, saying "Yet once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also heaven."

¹ If there arise among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and give thee a sign or a wonder - ² and that sign or wonder which he hath said come to pass — and then say, 'Let us go after strange gods which thou hast not known, and let us serve them': ³ hearken not unto the words of that prophet or dreamer of dreams. For the LORD thy God tempteth you, to wete whether ye love the LORD your God with all your hearts and with all your souls. ⁴ For ye must walk after the LORD your God and fear him and keep his commandments and hearken unto his voice and serve him and cleave unto him. ⁵ And that prophet or dreamer of dreams shall die for it, because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God which brought you out of the land of Egypt and delivered you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in: and so thou shalt put evil away from thee.

¹⁹ But now send and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel; and the Prophets of Baal, four hundred and fifty; and the Prophets of the groves; four hundred, which eat of Jezebel's table.

²⁷ And at noon Elijah mocked them, and said, "Call loud, for he is a god: but he is talking, or occupied, or in the way, or haply he sleepeth, that he may awake!"

⁴⁰ Then said Elijah unto them, "Lay hands on the Prophets of Baal — let not one of them escape." And when they had taken them, Elijah brought them down unto the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

⁸ The priests themselves said not once, 'Where is the LORD?' They that have the law in their hands, know me not: The shepherds offend against me. The Prophets do service unto Baal, and follow such things as shall bring them no profit.

¹⁴ And the LORD said unto me, "The prophets preach lies unto them in my name. I have not spoken with them, neither gave I them any charge, neither did I send them. Yet they preach unto you false visions, charming vanity, and deceitfulness of their own heart. ¹⁵ Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD: As for those prophets that preach in my name, whom I nevertheless have not sent, and that say, 'Tush, there shall neither battle, nor hunger be in this land': With sword and with hunger shall those prophets perish,

¹³ I have seen folly among the Prophets of Samaria, that they preached for Baal, and deceived my people of Israel. ¹⁴ I have seen also among the Prophets of Jerusalem foul adultery, and presumptuous lies. They take the most shameful men by the hand, flattering them, so that they cannot return from their wickedness. All these with their citizens are, unto me, as Sodom and as the inhabiters of Gomorrah." ¹⁵ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts concerning the prophets, "Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall. For from the prophets of Jerusalem is the sickness of hypocrisy come into all the land."

³¹ Behold, here am I, sayeth the LORD, against the prophets that take upon their tongues to speak: The LORD hath said it.

¹⁵ neither have I sent them, sayeth the LORD: howbeit they are bold, falsely for to prophesy in my name: that I might the sooner drive you out, and that ye might perish with your preachers.'"

¹⁵ Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto the prophet Hananiah, "Hear me, I pray thee, Hananiah: The LORD hath not sent thee, but thou bringest this people into a false belief. ¹⁶ And therefore thus sayeth the LORD: behold, I will send thee out of the land, and within a year thou shalt die because thou hast falsely spoken against the LORD." ¹⁷ So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh Month.

⁶ Vain things they see, and tell lies to maintain their preachings withal. 'The LORD,' say they, 'hath spoken it' - when in very deed the LORD hath not sent them.

³ so that if any of them prophesy any more, his own father and mother that begat him, shall say unto him, 'Thou shalt die, for thou speakest lies under the name of the LORD.' Yea, his own father and mother that begat him, shall wound him, when he prophesieth.

¹⁵ "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

¹² But these, as brute beasts, naturally made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of that they know not, and shall perish through their own destruction,

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him that false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that received the beast's mark, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast into a pond of fire burning with brimstone:

²⁴ Faithful is he, which called you: which will also do it.

¹ Ye beloved, believe not every spirit: but prove the spirits whether they be of God, or not: for many false prophets are gone out in to the world. ² Hereby shall ye know the spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God. ³ And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God. And the same is that spirit of antichrist, of whom ye have heard, how that he should come: and even now already is he in the world.

² I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not forbear them which are evil: and examinedst them which say they are apostles, and are not: and hast found them liars.

¹ If there arise among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and give thee a sign or a wonder - ² and that sign or wonder which he hath said come to pass — and then say, 'Let us go after strange gods which thou hast not known, and let us serve them':

²⁰ But the prophet which shall presume to speak ought in my name which I commanded him not to speak, and he that speaketh in the name of strange gods, the same prophet shall die.'

¹ About that time Hezekiah was sick unto the death. And the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, "Thus sayeth the LORD: put thine household in an order, for thou shalt die and not live."

² Like as the bird, and the swallow take their flight and flee here and there; so the curse that is given in vain, shall not light upon a man.

²² Let the gods come forth themselves, and show us the things that are past, what they be: let them declare them unto us, that we may take them to heart, and know them hereafter.

¹ And this was done in the same year: even in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah. But in the fourth year of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth Month, it happened, that Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet of Gibeon, spake to me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, and said, ² "Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon, ³ and after two years will I bring again into this place all the ornaments of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon carried away from this place unto Babylon. ⁴ Yea, I will bring again Jechoniah the son of Jehoiakim the king of Judah himself, with all the prisoners of Judah that are carried unto Babylon even into this place, sayeth the LORD, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon." ⁵ Then the prophet Jeremiah gave answer unto the prophet Hananiah, before the priests and before all the people that were present in the house of the LORD. ⁶ And the prophet Jeremiah said, "Amen, the LORD do that, and grant the thing which thou hast prophesied: that he may bring again all the ornaments of the LORD's house, and restore all the prisoners from Babylon into this place. ⁷ Nevertheless, hearken thou also what I will say, that thou and all the people may hear. ⁸ The prophets that were before us in times past, which prophesied of war, or trouble, or pestilence - ⁹ either of peace, upon many nations and great kingdoms - were proved by this, if God had sent them in very deed: when the thing came to pass, which that prophet told before." ¹⁰ And Hananiah the prophet took the chain from the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it; ¹¹ and with that said Hananiah, that all the people might hear, "Thus hath the LORD spoken: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, from the neck of all nations; yea, and that within this two years." And so the prophet Jeremiah went his way. ¹² Now after that Hananiah the prophet had taken the chain from the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broken it, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Jeremiah saying, ¹³ "Go, and tell Hananiah these words, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: Thou hast broken the chain of wood, but instead of wood thou shalt make chains of iron. ¹⁴ For thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel: I will put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all this people, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, yea and so shall they do. And I will give him the beasts in the field.'"

⁴ And Jonah went to and entered into the city even a day's journey, and cried, saying, "There shall not pass forty days but Nineveh shall be overthrown."

² And he prayed unto the LORD and said, "O LORD, was not this my saying when I was yet in my country? And therefore I hasted rather to flee to Tarshish: for I knew well enough that thou wast a merciful god, full of compassion long before thou be angry, and of great mercy and repentest when thou art come to take punishment.

⁵ What is now become of your forefathers and the prophets? Are they yet still alive? ⁶ But did not my words and statutes, which I commanded by my servants the Prophets, touch your forefathers? Upon this, they gave answer and said, 'Like as the LORD of Hosts devised to do unto us, according to our ways and imaginations, even so hath he dealt with us.''"
