Now write this on a ·sign [tablet] for the people,
    ·write this [inscribe it] on a scroll,
so that for the days to come
    this will be a witness forever.
These people are ·like children who lie and refuse to obey [L a rebellious nation, lying children];
    children who refuse to listen to the Lord’s ·teachings [law; instruction; L Torah].
10 They tell the seers [C another name for prophets],
    “Don’t see any more visions!”
They say to the prophets,
    “Don’t tell us ·the truth [what is right]!
Say ·things that will make us feel good [pleasant/smooth things];
    ·see only good things for us [L prophesy illusions].
