14 I have also seen something horrible among Jerusalem’s prophets.
    They are not faithful to me.
    They are not living by the truth.
They strengthen the hands of those who do evil.
    So not one of them turns from their sinful ways.
All of them are like the people of Sodom to me.
    They are just like the people of Gomorrah.”

15 So the Lord who rules over all speaks about the prophets. He says,

“I will make them eat bitter food.
    I will make them drink poisoned water.
The prophets of Jerusalem have spread
    their ungodly ways all through the land.”

16 The Lord who rules over all says to the people of Judah,

“Do not listen to what the prophets are saying to you.
    They fill you with false hopes.
They talk about visions that come from their own minds.
    What they say does not come from my mouth.

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.
