13 “I saw the prophets of Samariado something wrong.I saw those prophets prophesy by the false god Baal.And they led my people, the Israelites, away.
14 And I have seen the prophets of Jerusalemdo some terrible things.These prophets are guilty of adulteryand live by lies.They encourage evil people to keep on doing evil.So the people don’t stop sinning.All of those people are like the city of Sodom.The people of Jerusalem are like the city of Gomorrah to me!”
15 So this is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says about the prophets:“I will make those prophets eat bitter food.I will make them drink poisoned water.This is because the prophets of Jerusalem spread wickednessthrough the whole country.”
16 This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says:“Don’t pay attention to the things those prophets are saying to you.They are trying to fool you.Those prophets talk of visions from their own minds.But they did not get their visions from me.
17 They say to those who hate me:‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’They say to those who are stubborn and do as they please:‘Nothing bad will happen to you!’
18 But none of these prophets has stood in the meeting of angels.None of them has seen or heard the message of the Lord.None of them has paid close attention to the Lord’s message.
19 Look, the punishment from the Lordwill come like a storm.His anger will be like a hurricane.It will come crashing down on the heads of those wicked people.
