12 Therefore their way will be to them as slippery places in the darkness.They will be driven on,and fall therein;for I will bring evil on them,even the year of their visitation,” says the Lord.
13 “I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria.They prophesied by Baal,and caused my people Israel to err.
14 In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing:they commit adultery and walk in lies.They strengthen the hands of evildoers,so that no one returns from his wickedness.They have all become to me as Sodom,and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”
15 Therefore the Lord of Hosts says concerning the prophets:“Behold, I will feed them with wormwood,and make them drink the water of gall;for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”
16 the Lord of Hosts says,“Don’t 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 will have peace;”’and 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 the Lord,that he should perceive and hear his word?Who has listened to my word, and heard it?
