15 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
‘Behold, I will feed them with awormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
1Profaneness has gone out into all the land.’ ”
‘Behold, I will feed them with awormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
1Profaneness 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;
aThey speak a vision of their own heart,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They make you worthless;
aThey speak a vision of their own heart,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They continually say to those who despise Me,
‘The Lord has said, a“You shall have peace” ’;
And to everyone who bwalks according to the dictates of his own heart, they say,
c‘No evil shall come upon you.’ ”
‘The Lord has said, a“You shall have peace” ’;
And to everyone who bwalks according to the dictates of his own heart, they say,
c‘No evil shall come upon you.’ ”
18 For awho has stood in the counsel of the Lord,
And has perceived and heard His word?
Who has marked His word and heard it?
And has perceived and heard His word?
Who has marked His word and heard it?
19 Behold, a awhirlwind of the Lord has gone forth in fury—
A violent whirlwind!
It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.
A violent whirlwind!
It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.
