8 For this is what Adonai -Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says: ‘Don't let your prophets who are living among you and your diviners deceive you, and don't pay attention to the dreams you urge them to dream. 9 For they are prophesying falsely in my name; I have not sent them,' says Adonai . 10 "For here is what Adonai says: ‘After Bavel's seventy years are over, I will remember you and fulfill my good promise to you by bringing you back to this place. 11 For I know what plans I have in mind for you,' says Adonai ,‘plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future. 12 When you call to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. 13 When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek for me wholeheartedly; 14 and I will let you find me,' says Adonai . ‘Then I will reverse your exile. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have driven you,' says Adonai , ‘and bring you back to the place from which I exiled you.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name,.... They pretended to have the authority of God for what they said; that their prophecies and dreams were from him, and as such they delivered them in his name; though they were false ones; that they might be the better received by the people:
I have not sent them, saith the Lord; they had no mission or commission from the Lord, no warrant or authority from him; they set up themselves; and ran without being sent; and prophesied out of their own hearts what came into their heads, the fancies of their own brain, or the delusions of Satan, under whose power and influence they were; therefore sad must be the case of a people giving heed to such seducing spirits.
