Jeremiah 23:14-16
Christian Standard Bible
14 Among the prophets of Jerusalem also
I saw a horrible thing:(A)
They commit adultery and walk in lies.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,
and none turns his back on evil.
They are all like Sodom(B) to me;
Jerusalem’s residents are like Gomorrah.
15 Therefore, this is what the Lord of Armies says concerning the prophets:
I am about to feed them wormwood(C)
and give them poisoned water to drink,(D)
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness[a] has spread throughout the land.
16 This is what the Lord of Armies says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are deluding you. They speak visions from their own minds,(E) not from the Lord’s mouth.(F)

5 This is what the Lord says
concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray,(A)

without divination.(D)
