16 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,

Not (D)from the mouth of Yahweh.
17 They keep saying to those who (E)spurn Me,
‘Yahweh has said, “(F)You will have peace”’;
And as for everyone who walks in the (G)stubbornness of his own heart,
They say, ‘(H)Evil will not come upon you.’

    Who has listened and heard his word?
