The Unfaithful Prophets

16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 17 They say continually to those who despise me, "The LORD has said, 'You shall have peace'"; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, "No evil shall come on you." 18 For who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has marked my word, and heard it?
