9Concerning the prophets, my heart is broken within me; all my bones have grown weak. I have become like a drunken man, like a man overcome by wine, because of the presence of the LORD and because of the presence of his holy word.10For the land is filled with adulterers; because of an oath the land mourns, and the pastures of the wilderness wither. Their running has become evil and their strength is not right.11For both prophet and priest are polluted; even in my house I have found their evil, declares the LORD.12Therefore their way shall become to them like slippery paths in the darkness; they shall be pushed down and fall in them, because I will bring distress upon them in the year of their punishment, declares the LORD.13In the prophets of Samaria I saw folly: they prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray.14In the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen horror: they commit adultery and walk in deception; they strengthen the hands of evildoers so that no man returns from his distress. They have all become like Sodom to me, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.15Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I am feeding them wormwood and giving them water of poison to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem profaneness has gone out to all the land.16Thus says the LORD of hosts: Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you; they are filling you with vain hopes. They speak a vision of their own heart, not from the mouth of the LORD.17They keep saying to those who spurn me, 'The LORD has spoken: Peace shall be to you,' and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his heart they say, 'No distress shall come upon you.'18For who has stood in the council of the LORD to see and to hear his word? Who has paid attention to my word and heard it?19Behold, the tempest of the LORD has gone forth in rage, and a tempest is whirling upon the head of the wicked.20The anger of the LORD will not return until he has done and until he has established the plots of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it with understanding.21I did not send the prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.22But if they had stood in my council and had made my people hear my words, then they would have turned them from their evil way and from the evil of their deeds.23Am I a God at hand, declares the LORD, and not a God far away?24Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD.25I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name, saying, 'I have dreamed, I have dreamed.'26How long shall there be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy deception, even prophets of the deceitfulness of their heart?27They think to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, just as their fathers forgot my name because of Baal.28Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. What has straw to do with wheat? declares the LORD.29Is not my word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?30Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the LORD, who steal my words, each man from his neighbor.31Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the LORD, who take their tongues and prophesy an utterance.32Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the LORD, and who recount them and lead my people astray by their deceptions and by their recklessness, although I did not send them and did not command them. They will not profit this people at all, declares the LORD.
