Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
Behold, I am against them that prophesy false
dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by
their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded
them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the
LORD.
Vs. 31,32
Behold, I am
against the prophets. They pretended to be for God, and made use of His
name, but were really against Him.
The prophets who used their tongues; הלקחים לשונם hallokechim leshonam, who lick or smooth with their tongues - gave their own counsels as Divine revelations, flattering them in
their sins, and promising peace, when God had not spoken; and prefaced
them....
they are very complaisant to the people, and say nothing but what is pleasing
and plausible.
