but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.”
who say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions,
“Do not preach”—thus they preach— “one should not preach of such things; disgrace will not overtake us.”
