The Unfaithful Prophets

16 So says Jehovah of Hosts, Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you vain; they speak a vision from their own heart, not out of the mouth of Jehovah. 17 They still say to those who despise Me, Jehovah has said, You shall have peace! And they say to everyone who walks after the stubbornness of his own heart, No evil shall come on you! 18 For who has stood in the counsel of Jehovah, and hears His Word? Who has listened to His Word and heard it?
