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.
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.’ ”
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?
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.
20 The aanger of the Lord will not turn back Until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. bIn the latter days you will understand it perfectly.
God asks, "Which one of these false prophets has ever come to Me, and been in My counsel, and heard what I said?" And the answer is, rhetorically, "None!" The sense of this is "none of these have stood in My counsel."
