They are prophesying to you false visions,(C) divinations,(D) idolatries[a] and the delusions of their own minds. 15 Therefore this is what the Lord says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ Those same prophets will perish(E) by sword and famine.(F)

When it[a] falls,(L) you will be destroyed in it; and you will know that I am the Lord. 15 So I will pour out my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash. I will say to you, “The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, 16 those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign Lord.(M)”’

New International Version
21 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies(A) to you in my name: “I will deliver them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your very eyes. 22 Because of them, all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the Lord treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon burned(B) in the fire.’ 23 For they have done outrageous things in Israel; they have committed adultery(C) with their neighbors’ wives, and in my name they have uttered lies—which I did not authorize. I know(D) it and am a witness(E) to it,” declares the Lord.

Lying Prophets
9 Concerning the prophets:
My heart(A) is broken within me;
all my bones tremble.(B)
I am like a drunken man,
like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and his holy words.(C)
10 The land is full of adulterers;(D)
because of the curse[a](E) the land lies parched
and the pastures(F) in the wilderness are withered.(G)
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(H)
even in my temple(I) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(J)
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,(K)”
declares the Lord.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(L)
and led my people Israel astray.(M)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(N)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(O)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(P)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(Q)
They are all like Sodom(R) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(S)
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
“I will make them eat bitter food
and drink poisoned water,(T)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness(U) has spread throughout the land.”
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Do not listen(V) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(W) from their own minds,
not from the mouth(X) of the Lord.
17 They keep saying(Y) to those who despise me,
‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(Z)
And to all who follow the stubbornness(AA) of their hearts
they say, ‘No harm(AB) will come to you.’

God’s Accusation Against the Wicked
9 Come, all you beasts of the field,(A)
come and devour, all you beasts of the forest!
10 Israel’s watchmen(B) are blind,
they all lack knowledge;(C)
they are all mute dogs,
they cannot bark;
they lie around and dream,
they love to sleep.(D)
11 They are dogs with mighty appetites;
they never have enough.
They are shepherds(E) who lack understanding;(F)
they all turn to their own way,(G)
they seek their own gain.(H)
12 “Come,” each one cries, “let me get wine!(I)
Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
or even far better.”(J)
