⁶ Their visions are false^(A) and their divinations a lie. Even though the Lord has not sent^(B) them, they say, “The Lord declares,” and expect him to fulfill their words.^{(C) 7} Have you not seen false visions^(D) and uttered lying divinations when you say, “The Lord declares,” though I have not spoken?

⁸ “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you,^(E) declares the Sovereign Lord. ⁹ My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying^(F) divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or be listed in the records^(G) of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.^(H)

¹⁶ those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(A)”’

²³ therefore you will no longer see false visions^(A) or practice divination.^(B) I will save^(C) my people from your hands. And then you will know that I am the Lord.^(D)’”
