Exegesis
The phrase al-divrei hanviʾim hanibbeʾim {עַל־דִּבְרֵי הַנְּבִאִים הַנִּבְּאִים | ʿal-dibrey han-nəḇîʾîm han-nibbeʾîm} ‘to the words of the prophets who prophesy’ specifies the deceptive oracles.
In context — Jeremiah 23:16
Thus says the LORD of hosts : “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.”
