Proverbs 20:6 Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find?
Jeremiah 5:13 The prophets are but wind and the word is not in them; so let what they say be done to them."
Micah 2:11 If a liar and deceiver comes and says, 'I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,' that would be just the prophet for this people!
