16 Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot:
“Do not listen to the words of prophets
who are prophesying to you.
They are leading you into illusion,
speaking a vision of their own heart
and not out of the mouth of Adonai.
17 They keep saying to those who despise Me,
Adonai has said, you will have shalom.’
To everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say:
‘No evil will come on you.’”

18 For who has stood in the council of Adonai,
that he should see and hear His word?
Who has heard to His word and obeyed?

And to all who follow the stubbornness(F) of their hearts
    they say, ‘No harm(G) will come to you.’

    to see or to hear his word?
    Who has listened and heard his word?
