Context Reading
13“I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria.They prophesied by Baal,and caused my people Israel to err. 14In 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.” 15Therefore Yahweh of Armies says concerning the prophets:“Behold, I will feed them with wormwood,and make them drink poisoned water;for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.” 16Yahweh of Armies 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 Yahweh. 17They say continually to those who despise me,‘Yahweh 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.’
