Contradiction with Deuteronomy 18:22
This verse contradicts Jeremiah 27:9 by emphasizing the reliability of prophecy, stating that if a prophet's word comes to pass, it is from the Lord, while Jeremiah 27:9 warns against listening to certain prophets.
Deuteronomy 18:22: When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Contradiction with 1 John 4:1
This verse encourages testing the spirits to determine if they are from God, which contrasts with Jeremiah 27:9's warning against heeding false prophets and dreamers without providing a test.
1 John 4:1: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:15
This verse warns about false prophets, aligning with Jeremiah 27:9's warning, but it contradicts by suggesting a need for discernment and acknowledgment of false prophets’ existence, rather than a blanket avoidance.
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 14:14
While Jeremiah 27:9 cautions against listening to those who prophesy falsely, this verse contradicts by illustrating God's acknowledgment that some prophets prophesy lies in His name.
Jeremiah 14:14: Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 13:2-3
This verse denounces false prophets just like Jeremiah 27:9, but the focus on God instructing the prophet Ezekiel to speak against them contrasts with the more passive directive in Jeremiah 27:9 to not listen.
Ezekiel 13:2-3: Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD; [that prophesy out...: Heb. that are prophets out of their own hearts]
