15 Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, concerning the prophets: Lo, I am causing them to eat wormwood, And have caused them to drink water of gall, For, from prophets of Jerusalem Hath profanity gone forth to all the land.

16 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Ye do not hearken unto the words Of the prophets who are prophesying to you, They are making you vain things, A vision of their own heart they speak, Not from the mouth of Jehovah.

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.”

“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.’
