6 “Do not prophesy,” their prophets say.

“Do not prophesy about these things;

disgrace will not overtake us.”

6 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy:

They shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.

6 “Don’t say such things,”

the people respond.

“Don’t prophesy like that.

Such disasters will never come our way!”

6 “Do not prattle,” you say to those who prophesy.

So they shall not prophesy to you;

They shall not return insult for insult.

6 The prophets say, “Don’t prophesy to us!

Don’t prophesy about these things!

Nothing to make us feel bad will happen!”

6 Prophesy ye not, thus they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.

6 Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart.

6 Your prophets say, “Don’t prophesy! 

Don’t prophesy such things! 

Disgrace will never overtake us.” 

6 “Quit your preaching,” they preach.

“They should not preach these things;

shame will not overtake us.”

6 “Do not preach”—thus they preach—

“one should not preach of such things;

disgrace will not overtake us.”

6 “Do not preach!” they are preaching.

They should not preach to these;

disgrace will not overtake us.

6 “Don’t prophesy,” the people’s prophets say.

“Don’t prophesy about bad things.

Nothing shameful is going to happen to us.”

6 ‘Do not speak out,’ so they speak out.

But if they do not speak out concerning these things,

Reproaches will not be turned back.
