14 In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing:
    they commit adultery and walk in lies.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,
    so that no one returns from his wickedness.
They have all become to me as Sodom,
    and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”

15 Therefore Yahweh of Armies says concerning the prophets:

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

16 Yahweh of Armies says,

“Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
    They teach you vanity.
    They speak a vision of their own heart,
    and not out of the mouth of 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.
