14 “Say this about the prophets of Jerusalem:

I see something horrible.
    The prophets of Jerusalem commit adultery and live a lie.
        They support those who do evil
            so that no one turns back from his wickedness.
        They are all like Sodom to me,
            and those who live in Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”

15 This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth says about the prophets:

I will give them wormwood to eat and poison to drink.
    The prophets of Jerusalem have spread godlessness
        throughout the land.

16 This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth says:

Don’t listen to what the prophets are saying to you.
    They fill you with false hope.
        They speak about visions that they dreamed up.
        These visions are not from Yahweh.

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.
