To the prophets: My heart is broken within me, all my bones tremble: I am become as a drunken man, and as a man full of wine, at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of his holy words. 10Because the land is full of adulterers, because the land hath mourned by reason of cursing, the fields of the desert are dried up: and their course is become evil, and their strength unlike. 11For the prophet and the priest are defiled: and in my house I have found their wickedness, saith the Lord. 12Therefore their way shall be as a slippery way in the dark: for they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evils upon them, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord. 13And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied in Baal and deceived my people Israel. 14And I have seen the likeness of adulterers, and the way of lying in the prophets of Jerusalem: and they strengthened the hands of the wicked, that no man should return from his evil doings, they are all become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrha. 15Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts to the prophets: Behold I will feed them with wormwood, and will give them gall to drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem corruption is gone forth into all the land. 16Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, and deceive you: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. 17They say to them that blaspheme me: The Lord hath said: You shall have peace: and to every one that walketh in the perverseness of his own heart, they have said: No evil shall come upon you. 18For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath seen and heard his word? Who hath considered his word and heard it? 19Behold the whirlwind of the Lord's indignation shall come forth, and a tempest shall break out and come upon the head of the wicked. 20The wrath of the Lord shall not return till he execute it, and till he accomplish the thought of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand his counsel. 21I did not send prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 22If they had stood in my counsel, and had made my words known to my people, I should have turned them from their evil way, and from their wicked doings. 23Am I, think ye, a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? 24Shall a man be hid in secret places, and I not see him, saith the Lord? do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? 25I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, and say: I have dreamed, I have dreamed. 26How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and that prophesy the delusions of their own heart? 27Who seek to make my people forget my name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbour: as their fathers forgot my name for Baal. 28The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream: and he that hath my word, let him speak my word with truth: what hath the chaff to do with the wheat, saith the Lord? 29Are not my words as a fire, saith the Lord: and as a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? 30Therefore behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who steal my words every one from his neighbour. 31Behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who use their tongues, and say: The Lord saith it. 32Behold I am against the prophets that have lying dreams, saith the Lord: and tell them, and cause my people to err by their lying, and by their wonders: when I sent them not, nor commanded them, who have not profited this people at all, saith the Lord.
