Next

Behold, I [am] against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.

Behold, I am against them that prophesy {H5012} false {H8267} dreams {H2472}, saith {H5002} the LORD {H3068}, and do tell {H5608} them, and cause my people {H5971} to err {H8582} by their lies {H8267}, and by their lightness {H6350}; yet I sent {H7971} them not, nor commanded {H6680} them: therefore they shall not profit {H3276} this people {H5971} at all {H3276}, saith {H5002} the LORD {H3068}.

"I am against those who concoct prophecies out of fake dreams," says ADONAI. "They tell them, and by their lies and arrogance they lead my people astray. I didn't send them, I didn't commission them, and they don't do this people any good at all," says ADONAI.

“Indeed,” declares the LORD, “I am against those who prophesy false dreams and retell them to lead My people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent them or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people,” declares the LORD.

Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith Jehovah, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, saith Jehovah.
