14 I have seen also among the prophets of Jerusalem
    a horrible thing.
    They commit adultery and walk in lies.
They also strengthen the hands of evildoers,
    so that no one repents from his wickedness.
All of them are as Sodom to Me
    and her inhabitants as Gomorrah.

15 Therefore thus says the Lord of Hosts concerning the prophets:

“I will feed them with wormwood
    and make them drink the water of gall,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
    profaneness has gone out into all the land.”

16 Thus says the Lord of Hosts:

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.

14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
    I have seen something horrible:(A)
    They commit adultery and live a lie.(B)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(C)
    so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(D)
They are all like Sodom(E) to me;
    the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(F)

15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:

“I will make them eat bitter food
    and drink poisoned water,(G)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
    ungodliness(H) has spread throughout the land.”

16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Do not listen(I) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
    they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(J) from their own minds,
    not from the mouth(K) of the Lord.
