15 Therefore thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot concerning the prophets:
“I myself will feed them wormwood
and make them drink poisoned water.
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
pollution has spread into all the land.”
16 Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot:
“Do not listen to the words of prophets
who are prophesying to you.
They are leading you into illusion,
speaking a vision of their own heart
and not out of the mouth of Adonai.
17 They keep saying to those who despise Me,
Adonai has said, you will have shalom.’
To everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say:
‘No evil will come on 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.’
