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.

New King James Version
19 [a]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a (A)light that shines in a dark place, (B)until (C)the day dawns and the morning star rises in your (D)hearts; 20 knowing this first, that (E)no prophecy of Scripture is of any private [b]interpretation, 21 for (F)prophecy never came by the will of man, (G)but [c]holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
