10 And I proceeded to say: “Alas, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah! Truly you have absolutely deceived this people+ and Jerusalem, saying, ‘Peace itself will become YOURS,’+ and the sword has reached clear to the soul.”*
31 The prophets themselves actually prophesy in falsehood;+ and as for the priests, they go subduing according to their powers.*+ And my own people have loved [it] that way;+ and what will YOU men do in the finale of it?”+
17 They are saying again and again to those who are disrespectful of me, ‘Jehovah has spoken: “Peace is what YOU people will come to have.”’+ And [to] every one walking in the stubbornness of his heart+ they have said, ‘No calamity will come upon YOU people.’+
9 “‘“‘And as for YOU men, do not listen to YOUR prophets+ and to YOUR practicers of divination and to YOUR dreamers*+ and to YOUR practicers of magic and to YOUR sorcerers,+ who are saying to YOU: “YOU men will not serve the king of Babylon.”+
10 for the reason, yes, for the reason that they have led my people astray, saying, “There is peace!” when there is no peace,+ and there is one that is building a partition wall, but in vain+ there are those plastering it with whitewash.’+
11 Her own head ones judge merely for a bribe,+ and her own priests instruct just for a price,+ and her own prophets practice divination simply for money;*+ yet upon Jehovah they keep supporting themselves, saying: “Is not Jehovah in the midst of us?+ There will come upon us no calamity.”+
