16 This is what the Lord of Armies says.
Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They are giving you false hope.
They proclaim visions that come from their own hearts
and not from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They keep saying to those who despise me,
“The Lord has said that you will have peace.”
And to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart,
they say, “No harm will come to you.”

    to see and hear his word?
Who has listened to his word and heard it?

    ‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(E)

    to see or to hear his word?
    Who has listened and heard his word?
