Jeremiah 23:16-18
King James Version
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?

Jeremiah 23:16-18
New International Version
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Do not listen(A) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(B) from their own minds,
not from the mouth(C) of the Lord.
17 They keep saying(D) to those who despise me,
‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(E)
And to all who follow the stubbornness(F) of their hearts
they say, ‘No harm(G) will come to you.’
18 But which of them has stood in the council(H) of the Lord
to see or to hear his word?
Who has listened and heard his word?
Jeremiah 23:21-22
King James Version
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
