Prophesy; declare aforehand what I will do. Against the prophets; against prince and people first, next against prophets and prophetesses; against the former in the foregoing Chapter s, against the latter in this chapter. Of Israel, because approved of Israel, encouraged by Israel, and followed; but not prophets of the Lord, he sent them not. Whether these were in Babylon, or in Jerusalem, some inquiry is made; probably these false prophets were in both places. That prophesy; foretell what is pleasing to the Jews, a sudden return out of captivity, with the vessels of the Lord's house, and prosperity in their own land. Out of their own hearts; but all their promising words are of themselves, out of their own deceiving hearts, not from God, and so all will be lies. Hear ye the word of the Lord; cease to deceive my people, and attend now to what God speaks of you.
