Jeremiah 23:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets, Behold, I will feed them with [a]wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is [b]wickedness gone forth into all the land.
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hear not the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you, and teach you vanity: they speak the vision of their own [c]heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye [d]shall have peace: and they say unto everyone that walketh after the stubbornness of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
