NASB Translation
boasters (1), boasts (1), idle boasts (2), oracle priests (1).

III. [בַּד] noun masculine only Plural בַּדִּים.

a. empty, idle talk (Phoenician CIS^{3, 6 listen not to} בדנם = Hebrew בַּדֵּיהֶם; compare vain talk), especially with collateral idea of imaginary pretensions or claims: Job 11:3 בַּדֶּיךָ מְתִיםיַחֲרִישׁוּ thy idle talk brings men to silence ("" וַתִּלְעַג), Isaiah 16:6 (of Moab) לֹא כֵן בַּדָּיו his boastings are not right (unfounded), hence Jeremiah 48:30.

b. concrete empty talkers, praters (compare Late Hebrew בַּדָּאָה, Syriac , liar), of false prophets, Isaiah 44:25; Jeremiah 50:36.
