False prophets

6 The people who heard me say that replied to me,

“Do not prophesy such things!

Do not say that Yahweh is going to humiliate us by causing us to experience disasters!”

7 But you people [MTY] of Israel should not [RHQ] talk like that!

The Spirit of Yahweh will certainly not [RHQ] be patient with people who say such things!

People who continually do things that are righteous will certainly [RHQ] like/appreciate what I say.

8 But Yahweh says,

“Recently my people have been acting toward me like an enemy.

When soldiers return from fighting against their enemies,

you rich people refuse to return the coats of those poor soldiers who have borrowed money from you

and given you their coats to guarantee that they will pay back the money that they borrowed from you.

It is as though you are waiting to forcefully take their coats off their backs!

9 You have forced women to leave their nice homes,

and you have stolen from their children forever the ◄blessings/good things► that I wanted to give them.

10 So get up and leave here!

This is not a place where you can rest and be safe/protected,

because you have ◄defiled it/caused it to be a place that I hate►;

it will be completely destroyed.

11 You people want a prophet who will lie to you,

saying ‘I will preach that you should drink plenty of wine and other alcoholic drinks!’

That is the kind of prophet who would please you.”
