²⁹ while ^(A)they see for you false visions, while they divine lies for you—to place you on the necks of the profane wicked, ^(B)whose day has come, the time of their final punishment.

²⁵ And you, O profane^{[a] (A)}wicked one, prince of Israel, ^(B)whose day has come, ^(C)the time of your final punishment,

²⁸ And ^(A)her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, ^(B)seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.

⁹ So ^(A)do not listen to your ^(B)prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your ^(C)fortune-tellers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’

⁵ Because ^(A)you cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword ^(B)at the time of their calamity, ^(C)at the time of their final punishment,

^23 (A)therefore you shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”

¹⁰ Precisely because they have misled my people, ^(A)saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, ^(B)these prophets smear it with whitewash,^[a]

^6 (A)They have seen false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘Declares the Lord,’ ^(B)when the Lord has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfill their word.
