16 Thus says the Lord of hosts: "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, [Ps. 12:2] filling you with vain hopes. [ver. 21, 26; Num. 16:28]They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, [Zech. 10:2]; See ch. 6:14‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who See ch. 3:17stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ch. 5:12;Mic. 3:11‘No disaster shall come upon you.’"
21 See ch. 14:14"I did not send the prophets,
yet they ran;
I did not speak to them,
yet they prophesied.
