Jeremiah 23:14-16
New King James Version
14 Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem:
(A)They commit adultery and walk in lies;
They also (B)strengthen the hands of evildoers,
So that no one turns back from his wickedness.
All of them are like (C)Sodom to Me,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
15 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
‘Behold, I will feed them with (D)wormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
[a]Profaneness has gone out into all the land.’ ”
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They make you worthless;
(E)They speak a vision of their own heart,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
