Deuteronomy 18:10-12
Here are things you must not do. Don’t sacrifice your children in the fire to other gods. Don’t practice any kind of evil magic at all. Don’t use magic to try to explain the meaning of warnings in the sky or of any other signs. Don’t take part in worshiping evil powers.Don’t put a spell on anyone. Don’t get messages from those who have died. Don’t talk to the spirits of the dead. Don’t get advice from the dead.The Lord your God hates it when anyone does these things. The nations in the land he’s giving you do these things he hates. So he will drive out those nations to make room for you.

Isaiah 2:6-8
Lord, you have deserted the people of Jacob. They are your people. The land is full of false beliefs from the east. The people practice evil magic, just as the Philistines do. They do what ungodly people do.Their land is full of silver and gold. There is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses. There is no end to their chariots.Their land is full of statues of gods. Their people bow down to what their own hands have made. They bow down to what their fingers have shaped.

Isaiah 8:19-20
There are people who get messages from those who have died. But these people only whisper words that are barely heard. Suppose someone tells you to ask for advice from these people. Shouldn’t you ask for advice from your God instead? Why should you get advice from dead people to help those who are alive?Follow what the Lord taught you and said to you through me. People who don’t speak in keeping with these words will have no hope in the morning.

Zechariah 13:2-4
“ On that day I will remove the names of other gods from the land. They will not even be remembered anymore,” announces the Lord who rules over all.“ I will drive the evil prophets out of the land. I will get rid of the spirit that put lies in their mouths.Some people might still prophesy. But their own fathers and mothers will speak to them. They will tell them,‘ You must die. You have told lies in the Lord’ s name.’ When they prophesy, their own parents will stab them.“ At that time every prophet will be ashamed of the vision they see. They will no longer pretend to be a true prophet. They will not put on clothes that are made out of hair in order to trick people.
