Isaiah 28:14-15
New King James Version
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scornful men,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
(A)For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”

5 “Look(A) among the nations and watch—
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days

A bitter and hasty (C)nation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.

22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have about the land of Israel, which says, (A)‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’? 23 Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.” ’ But say to them, ‘ (B)“The days are at hand, and the [a]fulfillment of every vision. 24 For (C)no more shall there be any (D)false[b] vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25 For I am the Lord. I speak, and (E)the word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and (F)perform it,” says the Lord God.’ ”
26 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 27 (G)“Son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is (H)for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ 28 (I)Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak (J)will be done,” says the Lord God.’ ”

New King James Version
14 Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem:
(A)They commit adultery and walk in lies;
They also (B)strengthen the hands of evildoers,
So that no one turns back from his wickedness.
All of them are like (C)Sodom to Me,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
15 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
‘Behold, I will feed them with (D)wormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
[a]Profaneness has gone out into all the land.’ ”
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They make you worthless;
(E)They speak a vision of their own heart,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They continually say to those who despise Me,
‘The Lord has said, (F)“You shall have peace” ’;
And to everyone who (G)walks according to the [b]dictates of his own heart, they say,
(H)‘No evil shall come upon you.’ ”
