2 Peter 1:19-21
American Standard Version
19 And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a [a]dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of [b]private interpretation. 21 For no prophecy ever [c]came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

2 Peter 1:19-21
New International Version
19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable,(A) and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light(B) shining in a dark place, until the day dawns(C) and the morning star(D) rises in your hearts.(E) 20 Above all, you must understand(F) that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God(G) as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.(H)
