Sifrei Devarim 177

(Devarim 18:19) "And it shall be, the man who will not heed My words": There are three whose death is at the hands of Heaven: one who suppresses his prophecy, like Yonah the son of Amittai; one who dismisses the words of a prophet, as did the colleague of Michah (viz. I Kings 20:35), and a prophet who transgresses his own prophecy, as did Iddo, viz. ( I Kings 13:21). And there are three whose death is at the hands of beth-din : one who prophesies what he did not hear (from G-d), like Tzidkiyahu ben Cna'anah (viz. I Kings 22:24); and what was not spoken to him , like Chananiah ben Azur, who heard things from the mouth of Jeremiah, who prophesied in the upper marketplace and went and prophesied in the lower marketplace (viz. Jeremiah 28); and one who prophesies in the name of idolatry, i.e., "This is what the idol says" — even if what he said was consistent with the halachah , to rule unclean what was unclean, and clean what was clean — it being written ( Ibid . 20) "But the prophet who shall presume, etc."
