2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Connections
Ἐγένοντο δὲ καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐν τῷ λαῷ ὡς καὶ ἐν ὑμῖν ἔσονται ψευδοδιδάσκαλοι οἵτινες παρεισάξουσιν αἱρέσεις ἀπωλείας καὶ τὸν ἀγοράσαντα αὐτοὺς δεσπότην ἀρνούμενοι ἐπάγοντες ἑαυτοῖς ταχινὴν ἀπώλειαν
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Τοῦτο δὲ γίνωσκε ὅτι ἐν ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις ἐνστήσονται καιροὶ χαλεποί·
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
Τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα ῥητῶς λέγει ὅτι ἐν ὑστέροις καιροῖς ἀποστήσονταί τινες τῆς πίστεως προσέχοντες πνεύμασιν πλάνοις καὶ διδασκαλίαις δαιμονίων
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
πόρνοις ἀρσενοκοίταις ἀνδραποδισταῖς ψεύσταις ἐπιόρκοις καὶ εἴ τι ἕτερον τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ ἀντίκειται
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any that is to other thing contrary sound doctrine;
ὥστε ἐχθρὸς ὑμῶν γέγονα ἀληθεύων ὑμῖν
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell the truth? you
αὕτη δέ ἐστιν ἡ κρίσις ὅτι τὸ φῶς ἐλήλυθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον καὶ ἠγάπησαν οἱ ἄνθρωποι μᾶλλον τὸ σκότος ἢ τὸ φῶς· ἦν γὰρ πονηρὰ αὐτῶν τὰ ἔργα
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אַֽל-תִּשְׁמְעוּ עַל-דִּבְרֵי הַנְּבִאִים הַנִּבְּאִים לָכֶם מַהְבִּלִים הֵמָּה אֶתְכֶם חֲזוֹן לִבָּם יְדַבֵּרוּ לֹא מִפִּי יְהוָֽה׃
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה עִמְדוּ עַל-דְּרָכִים וּרְאוּ וְשַׁאֲלוּ׀ לִנְתִבוֹת עוֹלָם אֵי-זֶה דֶרֶךְ הַטּוֹב וּלְכוּ-בָהּ וּמִצְאוּ מַרְגּוֹעַ לְנַפְשְׁכֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא נֵלֵֽךְ׃
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
הַנְּבִאִים נִבְּאוּ בַשֶּׁקֶר וְהַכֹּהֲנִים יִרְדּוּ עַל-יְדֵיהֶם וְעַמִּי אָהֲבוּ כֵן וּמַֽה-תַּעֲשׂוּ לְאַחֲרִיתָֽהּ׃
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
לוּ-אִישׁ הֹלֵךְ רוּחַ וָשֶׁקֶר כִּזֵּב אַטִּף לְךָ לַיַּיִן וְלַשֵּׁכָר וְהָיָה מַטִּיף הָעָם הַזֶּֽה׃
If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν ὅταν καλῶς ὑμᾶς εἴπωσιν πάντες οἱ ἄνθρωποι· κατὰ ταῦτα γὰρ ἐποίουν τοῖς ψευδοπροφήταις οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers the to false prophets.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵֽלִיָּהוּ אֶל-הָעָם אֲנִי נוֹתַרְתִּי נָבִיא לַֽיהוָה לְבַדִּי וּנְבִיאֵי הַבַּעַל אַרְבַּע-מֵאוֹת וַֽחֲמִשִּׁים אִֽישׁ׃
Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
ἐγὼ δὲ ὅτι τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
אֲשֶׁר׀ אָמַר אֲלֵיהֶם זֹאת הַמְּנוּחָה הָנִיחוּ לֶֽעָיֵף וְזֹאת הַמַּרְגֵּעָה וְלֹא אָבוּא שְׁמֽוֹעַ׃
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Ἀθηναῖοι δὲ πάντες καὶ οἱ ἐπιδημοῦντες ξένοι εἰς οὐδὲν ἕτερον εὐκαίρουν ἢ λέγειν τι καὶ ἀκούειν καινότερον
(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אַל-יַשִּׁיאוּ לָכֶם נְבִֽיאֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר-בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וְקֹֽסְמֵיכֶם וְאַֽל-תִּשְׁמְעוּ אֶל-חֲלֹמֹתֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם מַחְלְמִֽים׃
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַחְשְׁבָה עַֽל-יִרְמְיָהוּ מַחֲשָׁבוֹת כִּי לֹא-תֹאבַד תּוֹרָה מִכֹּהֵן וְעֵצָה מֵֽחָכָם וְדָבָר מִנָּבִיא לְכוּ וְנַכֵּהוּ בַלָּשׁוֹן וְאַל-נַקְשִׁיבָה אֶל-כָּל-דְּבָרָֽיו׃
Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים לָֽבְשָׁה אֶת-זְכַרְיָה בֶּן-יְהֽוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן וַֽיַּעֲמֹד מֵעַל לָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם כֹּה׀ אָמַר הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָמָה אַתֶּם עֹֽבְרִים אֶת-מִצְוֹת יְהוָה וְלֹא תַצְלִיחוּ כִּֽי-עֲזַבְתֶּם אֶת-יְהוָה וַיַּֽעֲזֹב אֶתְכֶֽם׃
And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
Κἀγὼ ἐλθὼν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἀδελφοί ἦλθον οὐ καθ' ὑπεροχὴν λόγου ἢ σοφίας καταγγέλλων ὑμῖν τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ θεοῦ
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
וְאַתֶּם אַל-תִּשְׁמְעוּ אֶל-נְבִיאֵיכֶם וְאֶל-קֹֽסְמֵיכֶם וְאֶל חֲלֹמֹתֵיכֶם וְאֶל-עֹֽנְנֵיכֶם וְאֶל-כַּשָּׁפֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר-הֵם אֹמְרִים אֲלֵיכֶם לֵאמֹר לֹא תַעַבְדוּ אֶת-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶֽל׃
Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
