Jeremiah 23:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
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 [a]heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye [b]shall have peace: and they say unto everyone that walketh after the stubbornness of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For [c]who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord that he hath perceived, and heard his word? Who hath marked his word and heard it?
