Jeremiah 23:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 Therefore[a] thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets,
“Look, I am going to let them eat wormwood
and I will give them water of poison to drink,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
went out ungodliness to all the land.”
16 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“You must not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They are deluding you with visions of their mind,[b]
They do not speak from the mouth of Yahweh.
17 They are[c] continually saying to those who disregard the word of Yahweh,
‘Peace it will be to you,’
and to each one[d] who walks in the stubbornness of his heart they say,
‘Calamity will not 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.’
