The visions of your prophets were empty and deceptive; they did not expose your guilt to ward off your captivity. The burdens they envisioned for you were empty and misleading.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Your prophets have seen for you false and foolish visions; They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, but have seen for you false oracles and causes of banishment.

Your prophets have seen futile foolishness for you,
They haven't uncovered your burdensome guilt,
To return you from captivity,
But they have seen words of futile seductions.
