14 Your (A)prophets have beheld for you

So as to [a]return you from captivity,
But they have (C)beheld for you worthless and misleading [b]oracles.

Legacy Standard Bible
26 Her (A)priests have done violence to My law and have (B)profaned My holy things; they have made no (C)separation between the holy and the profane, and they have not made known the difference between the (D)unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey by shedding blood and (E)destroying lives in order to get (F)greedy gain. 28 And her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, beholding (G)worthless visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,’ when Yahweh has not spoken.
