15 Therefore Yahweh of Armies says concerning the prophets:

“Behold, I will feed them with wormwood,
    and make them drink poisoned water;
    for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”

16 Yahweh of Armies says,

“Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
    They teach you vanity.
    They speak a vision of their own heart,
    and not out of the mouth of Yahweh.
17 They say continually to those who despise me,
    ‘Yahweh has said, “You will have peace;”’
and 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.’
