"The land is full of adulterers; . . . The prophets follow an evil course and use their power unjustly.

They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his wickedness . . . ungodliness has spread throughout the land. This is what the Lord Almighty says: Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you . . . They speak visions from their own minds not from the mouth of the Lord. They keep saying to those who despise Me, ‘The Lord says: You will have peace!’ And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, ‘No harm will come to you.’ But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord to see or to hear His Word? Who has listened and heard His Word?" Jeremiah 23:10-18

"Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

God – having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them." 2 Timothy 3:1-5

"When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practises divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.

You must be blameless before the LORD your God." Deuteronomy 18:9-13
