English Translation

And the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying falsely in my name; I did not send them, and I did not command them, and I did not speak to them. They are prophesying to you a vision of falsehood and divination and a worthless thing, and the deceit of their hearts. They are prophesying to you.”
