Не пророчествуйте, пророки; не пророчествуйте им, чтобы не постигло вас бесчестие.
“Do not prophesy,” their prophets say. “Do not prophesy about these things; disgrace will not overtake us.”
“Do not preach” — thus they preach — “one should not preach of such things; disgrace will not overtake us.”
‘Do not speak out,’ so they speak out. But if they do not speak out concerning these things, Reproaches will not be turned back.
“Don’t say such things,” the people respond.b “Don’t prophesy like that. Such disasters will never come our way!”
Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
“Do not prattle,” you say to those who [e]prophesy. So they shall not prophesy [f]to you; [g]They shall not return insult for insult.
Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart.
