- સૈન્યોના યહોવાહ આ પ્રમાણે કહે છે કે, જે પ્રબોધકો તમને પ્રબોધ કરે છે તેઓનું તમે સાંભળશો નહિ. તેઓ વ્યર્થ વાતો કરે છે. તેઓ મારાં મુખનાં વચનો નથી કહેતા પણ પોતાના મનની કલ્પિત વાતો કરે છે.
- हिन्दी — यिर्मयाह २३:१६
- सेनाओं के यहोवा ने तुम से यह कहा है: “इन भविष्यद्वक्ताओं की बातों की ओर जो तुम से भविष्यद्वाणी करते हैं कान मत लगाओ, क्योंकि ये तुम को व्यर्थ बातें सिखाते हैं; ये दर्शन का दावा करके यहोवा के मुख की नहीं, अपने ही मन की बातें कहते हैं।
In context
14In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness. They have all become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”
15Therefore the LORD of Armies says concerning the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink poisoned water; for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”
16The LORD of Armies says, “Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They teach you vanity. They speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17They say continually to those who despise me, ‘The LORD has said, “You will have peace;”’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, ‘No evil will come on you.’
18For who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?
