Jeremiah 23:16-18

Modern English Version

Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
    They lead you into vanity;
they speak a vision of their own heart
    and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
¹⁷ They still say to those who despise Me,
    “The Lord has said, ‘You will have peace’ ”;
and they say to everyone who walks after the imagination of his own heart,
    “No evil will come upon you.”
¹⁸ For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord
    and has perceived and heard His word?
    Who has given heed to His word and listened to it?
