15 Therefore this is what the Lord of armies says concerning the prophets:

‘Behold, I am going to (A)feed them wormwood
And make them drink poisonous water,
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
Ungodliness has spread into all the land.’”

16 This is what the Lord of armies says:
(B)Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you.
They are (C)leading you into futility;
They tell a (D)vision of their own [a]imagination,
Not (E)from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They keep saying to those who (F)despise Me,
‘The Lord has said, “(G)You will have peace”’;
And as for everyone who walks in the (H)stubbornness of his own heart,
They say, ‘(I)Disaster will not come on you.’
