"The prophets are prophesying lies in My name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds. Therefore, thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, although I did not send them, and who say, 'Sword and famine shall not come upon this land': By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed. And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets in Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, with none to bury them - them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters - for I will pour out their evil upon them" (Jeremiah 14:14-16).
This warning was expressed to Israel by a God-sent prophet, because they had been receiving the false prophecies and promises of fake prophets. Those prophets gained status and wealth by making promises to the people, promises which those people gobbled up greedily. Why? Because these prophecies exalted them, in contrast to Jeremiah, who preached warnings and judgments which were true, but not what they wanted to hear.
In the same way, the modern members of the so-called Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or more-commonly the Mormons, have their own prophets, who preach to them pleasing words, promising godhood and rewards to them, while those same Mormons turn their backs on true Christians who try to point out the failed prophecies and false doctrines proclaimed by the Mormon prophets.
