20 But you need to realize that no one alone can understand any of the prophecies in the Scriptures.

You must understand this at the outset: Interpretation of scriptural prophecy requires the Holy Spirit, for it does not originate from someone’s own imagination.(TPT)

But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting;(Weymouth)

because you recognize this truth above all else, that no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one's own mind,
(Williams)

Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets.(BBE)

Above all, you do well if you recognize this: No prophecy of scripture ever comes about by the prophet’s own imagination,
(NET)

Tale/take your pick...
