Jeremiah 23:15-17
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
‘I am going to make them eat wormwood,
and give them poisoned water to drink;
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness has spread throughout the land.’
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you; they are deluding you. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They keep saying to those who despise the word of the Lord, ‘It shall be well with you’; and to all who stubbornly follow their own stubborn hearts, they say, ‘No calamity 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.’
