# Connecting Statement:
Jeremiah continues to deliver Yahweh's message about the false prophets and priests that he began in [Jeremiah 23:9](../23/09.md).
# Yahweh of hosts says this
Jeremiah often uses these words to introduce an important message from Yahweh. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 6:6](../06/06.md).
# They are leading you into vanity!
"The prophets have caused you to believe something that is not true!" or "They are leading you to do useless actions!"
# visions from their own minds
Here "minds" refers to the thoughts of the false prophets. Alternate translation: "visions that they imagined" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
# not from Yahweh's mouth
Here "mouth" refers to what Yahweh said. Alternate translation: "not what Yahweh said" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
