| 16. Formal Translation Thus says the LORD of hosts {Yahweh Tsevaot, Commander of Armies}: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, for they fill you with emptiness. They speak a vision of their own heart, and not from the mouth of the LORD.” |
| 16. Dynamic Translation This is what the LORD of hosts says: “Do not pay attention to the messages of the prophets who prophesy to you, for they lead you astray. They share a vision from their own heart and not from the mouth of the LORD {Yahweh, True Source}.” |
