Contradiction with Deuteronomy 18:20
It states that a prophet who speaks presumptuously in God’s name should die, whereas Ezekiel 13:1-3 addresses false prophets but does not explicitly prescribe the death penalty.
Deuteronomy 18:20: But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 23:16
This verse says not to listen to the words of prophets who speak from their own minds, similar to Ezekiel 13:1, but it suggests false prophets offer false hope, adding a layer of deceit not directly mentioned in Ezekiel 13:1 itself.
Jeremiah 23:16: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, [and] not out of the mouth of the LORD.
Contradiction with Micah 3:11
Condemns those who judge for reward and prophesy for money, highlighting material corruption, which is not specified as a motive for false prophesying in Ezekiel 13:1.
Micah 3:11: The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, [Is] not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. [and say: Heb. saying]
Contradiction with Matthew 7:15
Approaches false prophets by warning they come in sheep's clothing, focusing on their deceptive appearance, contrasting with Ezekiel 13:1 where the emphasis is more on the falsehood of their prophecies.
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 2:1
Speaks of false teachers and their destructive heresies denying the Lord, implying doctrinal error, a focus not mentioned in Ezekiel 13:1, which simply introduces the chapter on false prophets.
2 Peter 2:1: But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
