Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁵ for ^(A)I have not sent them,” declares Yahweh, “but they ^(B)prophesy a lie in My name, in order that I may ^(C)banish you and that you may perish, ^(D)you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”

¹⁶ Then I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus says Yahweh: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the ^(E)vessels of the house of Yahweh will now shortly be returned from Babylon’; for they are prophesying a ^(F)lie to you. ¹⁷ Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live! Why should this city ^(G)become a waste place?
