Jeremiah 23:16
New English Translation
16 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies[a] says to the people of Jerusalem:[b]
“Do not listen to what
those prophets are saying to you.
They are filling you with false hopes.
They are reporting visions of their own imaginations,
not something the Lord has given them to say.[c]
