The true prophetic word is compared to fire and a hammer that breaks the rock. The criterion for recognizing a prophet is not popularity, but faithfulness to God’s word.

Zwar bei den Propheten zu Samaria sah ich Torheit, daß sie weissagten durch Baal und verführten mein Volk Israel;
Y en los profetas de Samaria he visto desatinos: profetizaban en Baal, e hicieron errar a mi pueblo Israel.
Entre los profetas de Samaria vi una insensatez: profetizaban por Baal y extraviaban a mi pueblo Israel.
Dans les prophètes de Samarie j'ai vu de l'extravagance; Ils ont prophétisé par Baal, Ils ont égaré mon peuple d'Israël.
Ben avea io vedute cose sconvenevoli ne’ profeti di Samaria; profetizzavano per Baal, e traviavano il mio popolo Israele;
Nos profetas de Samaria bem vi loucura; profetizavam da parte de Baal, e faziam errar o meu povo Israel.
我在 撒瑪利亞 的先知中曾見狂妄的事; 他們藉 巴力 說預言, 使我的百姓 以色列 走迷了路。
