15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
(A)“Behold, I will feed them with bitter food
    (B)and give them (C)poisoned water to drink,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
    ungodliness 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, (D)filling you with vain hopes. (E)They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, (F)‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who (G)stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, (H)‘No disaster shall come upon you.’”

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.’
