14. Among the prophets of Jerusalem alsoI saw a horrible thing: They commit adultery and walk in lies.They strengthen the hands of evildoers,and none turns his back on evil.They are all like Sodom to Me;Jerusalem’s residents are like Gomorrah.
15. Therefore, this is what the Lord of Hosts says concerning the prophets:I am about to feed them wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalemungodliness has spread throughout the land.
16. This is what the Lord of Hosts says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are making you worthless. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the Lord’s mouth.
17. They keep on saying to those who despise Me, ‘ The Lord has said: You will have peace.’ They have said to everyone who follows the stubbornness of his heart, ‘No harm will come to you.’ ”
18. For who has stood in the council of the Lordto see and hear His word?Who has paid attention to His word and obeyed?
19. Look, a storm from the Lord! Wrath has gone out,a whirling storm.It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.
20. The Lord’s anger will not turn back until He has completely fulfilled the purposes of His heart.In time to come you will understand it clearly.
