“How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;”
The rhetorical question about how long false prophets will continue prophesying lies and prophesying from the deceit of their own hearts emphasizes the problem's persistence. The phrase "prophets of the deceit of their own hearts" shows that false prophecy ultimately originates in the false prophet's own desires rather than God's word. The question suggests frustration with the ongoing deception. The verse shows that false prophecy is a persistent and intractable problem.
