13 And I saw folly in the prophets of Shomeron; they prophesied in Baal, and they will cause my people Israel to wander.
14 And in the prophets of Jerusalem I saw a horrible thing, committing adultery and going in falsehood: and they strengthened the hands of those doing evil, they turned not back a man from his evil: they were to me all of them as Sodom, and those dwelling in her as Gomorrah.
15 For this, thus said Jehovah of armies concerning the prophets, Behold me feeding them with wormwood, and I caused to drink the water of poison: for from the prophets of Jerusalem went forth profaneness to all the earth.
16 Thus said Jehovah of armies, Ye shall not hear to the words of the prophets prophesying to you; they making you vain: they will speak the vision of their heart, not from the mouth of Jehovah.
17 Saying to say to those despising the word of Jehovah, There shall be peace to you; and every one going in the stubbornness of his heart, they said, Evil shall not come to you.
18 For who stood in the consultation of Jehovah, and will see and hear his word who attended to his word and will hear?
19 Behold, the storm of Jehovah went forth with wrath, a piercing storm; it shall be hurled upon the head of the evil ones.
20 The anger of Jehovah shall not turn back till his doing, and till his setting up the purposes of his heart: in the last of the days ye shall understand in it with understanding.
21 I sent not the prophets, and they ran; I spake not to them, and they prophesied.
22 And if they stood in my consultation, and they will cause my people to hear my word, and turn them back from their evil way and from the evil of their doings.
23 Am I God from near, says Jehovah, and not God from far off?
24 If a man shall hide in secret places and I shall not see him, says Jehovah. Do I not fill the heavens and the earth? says Jehovah.
25 I heard what the prophets said, prophesying a falsehood in my name, saying, I dreamed, I dreamed.
26 How long is it in the heart of the prophets prophesying a lie, and prophesying the deceit of their heart?
27 Reckoning to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they will recount a man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgat my name in Baal.
28 The prophet whom with him a dream, he will recount a dream; and whom my word with him, he will speak my word in truth. What to the straw with the grain? says Jehovah.
29 So is not my word as fire? says Jehovah; and as a hammer, it will break the rock in pieces.
30 For this, behold me against the prophets, says Jehovah, stealing my words, a man from his neighbor.
31 Behold me against the prophets, says Jehovah, taking their tongue, and they will mutter an oracle.
32 Behold me against them prophesying dreams of falsehood, says Jehovah, and they will recount them, and will cause my people to wander by their falsehoods and by their boasting; and I sent them not, and I commanded them not; and helping, they shall be of no profit to this people, says Jehovah.
