Do not have confidence in them, though they speak well of you.

Jeremiah 38:1-6
Now Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchijah heard the words Jeremiah was speaking to all the people:“ This is what the LORD says:‘ Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine, and plague, but whoever surrenders to the Chaldeans will live. He will retain his life like the spoils of war and will live.’This is what the LORD says:‘ This city will most certainly be handed over to the king of Babylon’s army, and he will capture it.’”The officials then said to the king,“ This man ought to die, because he is weakening the morale of the warriors who remain in this city and of all the people by speaking to them in this way. This man is not pursuing the welfare of this people, but their harm.”King Zedekiah said,“ Here he is; he’s in your hands since the king can’t do anything against you.”So they took Jeremiah and dropped him into the cistern of Malchiah the king’s son, which was in the guard’s courtyard, lowering Jeremiah with ropes. There was no water in the cistern, only mud, and Jeremiah sank in the mud.

Micah 2:6-11
“ Quit your preaching,” they preach.“ They should not preach these things; shame will not overtake us.”House of Jacob, should it be asked,“ Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things he does?” Don’t my words bring good to the one who walks uprightly?But recently my people have risen up like an enemy: You strip off the splendid robe from those who are passing through confidently, like those returning from war.You force the women of my people out of their comfortable homes, and you take my blessing from their children forever.Get up and leave, for this is not your place of rest because defilement brings destruction— a grievous destruction!If a man comes and utters empty lies—“ I will preach to you about wine and beer”— he would be just the preacher for this people!
