You shall not eat any flesh with
the blood in it. You shall not
interpret omens or tell fortunes.
(Leviticus 19:26)
ESV
Do not turn to mediums or
necromancers; do not seek them
out, and so make yourselves
unclean by them: I am the
Lord your
God.
(Leviticus 19:31)
ESV
And beware lest you raise your
eyes to heaven, and when you see
the sun and the moon and the
stars, all the host of heaven, you
be drawn away and bow down to them
and serve them, things that the
Lord your
God has allotted to all the
peoples under the whole heaven.
(Deuteronomy 4:19)
ESV
“When you come into the land that
the Lord
your God is giving you, you shall
not learn to follow the abominable
practices of those nations. There
shall not be found among you
anyone who burns his son or his
daughter as an offering, anyone
who practices divination or tells
fortunes or interprets omens, or a
sorcerer or a charmer or a medium
or a necromancer or one who
inquires of the dead, for whoever
does these things is an
abomination to the
Lord. And
because of these abominations the
Lord your
God is driving them out before
you.
(Deuteronomy 18:9-12)
ESV
And he burned his son as an
offering and used fortune-telling
and omens and dealt with mediums
and with necromancers. He did much
evil in the sight of the
Lord,
provoking him to anger.
(2 Kings 21:6)
ESV
And when they say to you, “Inquire
of the mediums and the
necromancers who chirp and
mutter,” should not a people
inquire of their God? Should they
inquire of the dead on behalf of
the living?
(Isaiah 8:19)
ESV
You are wearied with your many
counsels; let them stand forth and
save you, those who divide the
heavens, who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you. Behold,
they are like stubble; the fire
consumes them; they cannot deliver
themselves from the power of the
flame. No coal for warming oneself
is this, no fire to sit before!
(Isaiah 47:13,14)
ESV
Thus says the
Lord: “Learn not the way of
the nations, nor be dismayed at
the signs of the heavens because
the nations are dismayed at them,
for the customs of the peoples are
vanity. A tree from the forest is
cut down and worked with an axe by
the hands of a craftsman.
(Jeremiah 10:2,3)
ESV
So do not listen to your prophets,
your diviners, your dreamers, your
fortune-tellers, or your
sorcerers, who are saying to you,
‘You shall not serve the king of
Babylon.’
(Jeremiah 27:9)
ESV
And in every matter of wisdom and
understanding about which the king
inquired of them, he found them
ten times better than all the
magicians and enchanters that were
in all his kingdom.
(Daniel 1:20)
ESV
Daniel answered the king and said,
“No wise men, enchanters,
magicians, or astrologers can show
to the king the mystery that the
king has asked, but there is a God
in heaven who reveals mysteries,
and he has made known to King
Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the
latter days. Your dream and the
visions of your head as you lay in
bed are these:
(Daniel 2:27)
ESV
Then the magicians, the
enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the
astrologers came in, and I told
them the dream, but they could not
make known to me its
interpretation.
(Daniel 4:7)
ESV
The king called loudly to bring in
the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and
the astrologers. The king declared
to the wise men of Babylon,
“Whoever reads this writing, and
shows me its interpretation, shall
be clothed with purple and have a
chain of gold around his neck and
shall be the third ruler in the
kingdom.” Then all the king's wise
men came in, but they could not
read the writing or make known to
the king the interpretation. Then
King Belshazzar was greatly
alarmed, and his color changed,
and his lords were perplexed.
(Daniel 5:7-9)
ESV
And I will cut off sorceries from
your hand, and you shall have no
more tellers of fortunes;
(Micah 5:12)
ESV
As we were going to the place of
prayer, we were met by a slave
girl who had a spirit of
divination and brought her owners
much gain by fortune-telling.
(Acts 16:16)
ESV
Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife,
jealousy, fits of anger,
rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
envy, drunkenness, orgies, and
things like these. I warn you, as
I warned you before, that those
who do such things will not
inherit the kingdom of God.
(Galatians 5:20,21)
ESV
