Among the prophets of Jerusalem also I saw a horrible thing: They commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, and none turns his back on evil.

They are deluding you. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the LORD’s mouth.They keep on saying to those who despise me,‘ The LORD has spoken: You will have peace.’ They have said to everyone who follows the stubbornness of his heart,‘ No harm will come to you.’”

It will no longer be delayed. For in your days, rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’”The word of the LORD came to me:“ Son of man, notice that the house of Israel is saying,‘ The vision that he sees concerns many years from now; he prophesies about distant times.’Therefore say to them,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: None of my words will be delayed any longer. The message I speak will be fulfilled. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’”
