8I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from among My people. So you will know that I am the Lord. 9“But if the prophet is prevailed upon to speak a word, it is I, the Lord, who have prevailed upon that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.
