Context — The Yoke of Nebuchadnezzar
13Why should you and your people die by sword and famine and plague, as the LORD has decreed against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying to you a lie.
15For I have not sent them, declares the LORD, and yet they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore I will banish you, and you will perish—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
16Then I said to the priests and to all this people, “This is what the LORD says: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Look, very soon now the articles from the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying to you a lie. 17Do not listen to them.

And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that. Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD. And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’ So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.” |

For because of their idols, they are all estranged from Me.’ Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Repent and turn away from your idols; turn your faces away from all your abominations. For when any Israelite or any foreigner dwelling in Israel separates himself from Me, sets up idols in his heart, and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me, I the LORD will answer him Myself. I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb; I will cut him off from among My people. Then you will know that I am the LORD. But if the prophet is enticed to speak a message, then it was I the LORD who enticed him, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.

Jeremiah 27:15 Summary
[This verse means that God is warning us against listening to people who claim to speak for Him, but are actually speaking lies. He says that if we listen to these false prophets, we will be punished and separated from Him, as seen in Jeremiah 27:15. This is similar to what Jesus said in Matthew 7:15, where He warned us to beware of false prophets who come in sheep's clothing. We need to be careful to only listen to and follow God's true words, as found in the Bible, and to compare everything we hear to His truth, in order to avoid being deceived.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that the prophets were prophesying falsely in God's name?
This means that the prophets were claiming to speak for God, but their messages were not from Him, as stated in Jeremiah 27:15, and is similar to the warning in Deuteronomy 18:20, where God says He will punish any prophet who speaks in His name without being sent by Him.
Why did God say He would banish and cause the people to perish?
God said this because the people were listening to and following false prophets, rather than obeying His true messages, as seen in Jeremiah 27:15, and is also warned against in Jeremiah 14:14-15, where God says He will punish those who prophesy falsely in His name.
How can we know if a prophet or teacher is speaking truth or falsehood?
We can know by comparing their message to the Bible, as stated in Acts 17:11, and by looking for fruit in their lives, as Jesus taught in Matthew 7:15-20, and also by being aware of the warning in Jeremiah 27:15, where God condemns those who prophesy falsely in His name.
What is the consequence of following false prophets?
The consequence of following false prophets is spiritual death and separation from God, as warned in Jeremiah 27:15, and also in 2 Peter 2:1-3, where it says that false prophets will bring destruction upon themselves and their followers.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be listening to or following false teachings in my own life, and how can I discern the truth?
- How can I be sure that I am hearing God's true voice, rather than the voice of a false prophet or my own desires?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be tempted to follow my own desires or the desires of others, rather than obeying God's true words?
- In what ways can I be a faithful messenger of God's truth, rather than a false prophet, in my own sphere of influence?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 27:15
For I have not sent them, saith the Lord,.... See Jeremiah 23:21; yet they prophesy a lie in my name; to deliver out a lie was a very wicked thing, sinful in them, and fatal to others; but to make
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 27:15
For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. In my name.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 27:15
They make use of my name, and pretend to say what they say by commission from me, saith the Lord; but there is no such thing, I never gave them authority to speak any such things. And though possibly they do not design your ruin by these practices, for none can be thought to design their own ruin, yet that will be the end of it; for by this means your hearts are hardened against the revelations of my will, by which I shall be provoked to give you up to ruin; nor shall they escape, for they shall be ruined with you.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 27:15
Jeremiah 27:15 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.Ver. 15. For they prophesy a lie.] When they speak a lie, they speak of their own, as it is said of their father the devil.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 27:15
12–15. The warning to Zedekiah. The LXX, apparently through an accident in copying, omit much of these vv. They correspond in the main to the previous passage, the warning against the false prophets in Jeremiah 27:14-15 answering to that of Jer 27:9-10. The plural is used throughout on account of many sympathisers among all ranks.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 27:15
15. In my name — Thus making God’s name “a plea for lies.” MESSAGE TO THE PRIESTS AND PEOPLE, 16-22.
