Jeremiah 23:15-17
New King James Version
15 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
‘Behold, I will feed them with (A)wormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
[a]Profaneness has gone out into all the land.’ ”
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They make you worthless;
(B)They speak a vision of their own heart,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They continually say to those who despise Me,
‘The Lord has said, (C)“You shall have peace” ’;
And to everyone who (D)walks according to the [b]dictates of his own heart, they say,
(E)‘No evil shall come upon you.’ ”
