Jeremiah 23:14-16

14In the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 also I have seenH7200 a horrible thing: they commitH5003 adulteryH5003, and walkH1980 in liesH8267; and they strengthenH2388 the handsH3027 of evil-doers, so that none doth returnH7725 from his wickednessH7451: they are all of them becomeH1961 unto me as SodomH5467, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof as GomorrahH6017. 15ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030: Behold, I will feed them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of gall; for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is ungodliness goneH3318 forthH3318 into all the landH776.

16ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, Hearken not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you: they teach you vanity; they speakH1696 a visionH2377 of their own heartH3820, and not out of the mouthH6310 of Jehovah.
