2 Peter 1:19-21
New American Standard Bible
19 And so we have (A)the prophetic word made more (B)sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to (C)a lamp shining in a dark place, until the (D)day dawns and the (E)morning star arises (F)in your hearts. 20 But (G)know this first of all, that (H)no prophecy of Scripture [a]becomes a matter of [b]someone’s own interpretation, 21 for (I)no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men (J)moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

2 Peter 1:19-21
International Standard Version
19 Therefore we regard the message of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp that is shining in a gloomy place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 First of all, you must understand this: No prophecy in Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21 because no prophecy ever originated through a human decision. Instead, men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
