Jeremiah 23:15-17
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts to the prophets: Behold I will feed them with wormwood, and will give them gall to drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem corruption has gone forth into all the land.
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, and deceive you: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say to them that blaspheme me: The Lord hath said: You shall have peace: and to every one that walketh in the perverseness of his own heart, they have said: No evil shall come upon you.

Jeremiah 23:15-17
New International Version
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
“I will make them eat bitter food
and drink poisoned water,(A)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness(B) has spread throughout the land.”
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Do not listen(C) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(D) from their own minds,
not from the mouth(E) of the Lord.
17 They keep saying(F) to those who despise me,
‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(G)
And to all who follow the stubbornness(H) of their hearts
they say, ‘No harm(I) will come to you.’
