Jeremiah 23:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵So the Lord who rules over all speaks about the prophets. He says,

“I will make them eat bitter food.
I will make them drink poisoned water.
The prophets of Jerusalem have spread
their ungodly ways all through the land.”

¹⁶The Lord who rules over all says to the people of Judah,

“Do not listen to what the prophets are saying to you.
    They fill you with false hopes.
They talk about visions that come from their own minds.
    What they say does not come from my mouth.
¹⁷They keep speaking to those who hate me. They say,
    ‘The Lord says you will have peace.’
They speak to all those who do
    what their stubborn hearts want them to do.
    They tell them, ‘No harm will come to you.’
