17 They continually say to those who despise Me,
‘The Lord has said, (A)“You shall have peace” ’;
And to everyone who (B)walks according to the [a]dictates of his own heart, they say,
(C)‘No evil shall come upon you.’ ”

18 For (D)who has stood in the counsel of the Lord,
And has perceived and heard His word?
Who has marked His word and heard it?
19 Behold, a (E)whirlwind of the Lord has gone forth in fury—
A violent whirlwind!
It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.
