Jeremiah 23:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, and deceive you: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

¹⁷ They say to them that blaspheme me: The Lord hath said: You shall have peace: and to every one that walketh in the perverseness of his own heart, they have said: No evil shall come upon you.

¹⁸ For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath seen and heard his word? Who hath considered his word and heard it?
