7 Bible Verses about Dreams And False Prophets

If a prophet or an interpreter of dreams appears among you and gives you a sign or a wonder (portent) (omen) (forecast of the future), in order to lead you to worship and serve gods that you have not worshiped before, and even if what they promise comes true, do not listen to them. Jehovah your God is allowing them to test you. He will then know that you love Jehovah with all your heart.

Put to death any interpreters of dreams or prophets that tell you to rebel against Jehovah. For he (Jehovah) rescued you from Egypt, where you were slaves. Such people are evil and are trying to lead you away from the life that Jehovah has commanded you to live. They must be put to death, in order to get rid of this evil.

I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsely in my name. They say: 'I had a dream! I had a dream! How long? Is there anything in the hearts of the prophets, who prophesy falsehood, even these prophets of the deception of their own heart? They think the dreams they tell will make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name and turned to Baal worship.

Listen to what I, Jehovah, say! I am against the prophets who tell their dreams that are full of lies. They tell these dreams and lead my people astray with their lies and their boasting. I did not send them or order them to go. They are of no help at all to the people. I Jehovah have spoken!

Do not listen to prophets, mediums, and interpreters of dreams, fortunetellers, or sorcerers who tell you, 'You will never serve the king of Babylon.'

This is what Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'Do not let the prophets or the mediums among you trick you. Do not even listen to your own dreams. These people prophesy lies to you in my name. I did not send them,' declares Jehovah.

For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie. They have told false dreams! They comfort in vain. They go their way like sheep. They are afflicted because there is no shepherd.
