Jeremiah 23:16-17
New International Version
Jeremiah 23:16-17
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.’
Jeremiah 23:16-17
King James Version
Jeremiah 23:16-17
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.

Jeremiah 23:16-17
New Living Translation
16 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says to his people:
“Do not listen to these prophets when they prophesy to you,
filling you with futile hopes.
They are making up everything they say.
They do not speak for the Lord!
17 They keep saying to those who despise my word,
‘Don’t worry! The Lord says you will have peace!’
And to those who stubbornly follow their own desires,
they say, ‘No harm will come your way!’
