Except, that isn't what that passage says.

Sure it does.

When you rely on a corrupted text, as you are doing, you end up with a corrupted argument.

The meaning is pretty easy to understand when the verse is interpreted correctly.

A moot argument when you rely on a corrupted text in a futile attempt to make your point.

The only moot thing about your argument is that you cannot force a meaning into words that aren't there!

First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by human will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. (New Revised standard version - Catholic Edition)

First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. (Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition)

Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation. For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost. (Douay-Rheims)

Notice...PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE...it DIDN'T come from the PROPHETS' own will or mind. Definitely NOT talking about some reader thousands of years in the future being able to understand the meaning of God's word without a clergyman hanging over his shoulder explaining what it means to him. I think many Catholics have been made to feel they are sinning if they read the Bible and they notice Catholic teaching doesn't match what the Bible is saying.
