Jeremiah 29:8

Jeremiah's Letter To The Exiles In Babylon

⁷ Seek peace and well-being for the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its peace (well-being) you will have peace.’ ⁸ For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Do not let your [false] prophets who are among you and your diviners deceive you; pay no attention and attach no significance to the dreams which they dream or to yours, ⁹ for they prophesy falsely to you in My Name. I have not sent them,’ says the Lord.
