Jeremiah 23:16-18

New International Reader's Version

“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.
¹⁷ They 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.’
¹⁸ But which of them has ever stood in my courts?
    Have they been there to see a vision or hear my message?
    Who has listened and heard my message there?
