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.
17 They keep saying to those who despise me,
    Yahweh says, ‘Everything will go well for you.’”
    They tell all who live by their own stubborn ways,
        “Nothing bad will happen to 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.’
