Jeremiah 23:21-27

21I sentH7971 not these prophetsH5030, yet they ranH7323: I spake not unto them, yet they prophesiedH5012. 22But if they had stoodH5975 in my councilH5475, then had they caused my peopleH5971 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, and had turnedH7725 them from their evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7451 of their doings.

23Am I a GodH430 at hand, saith Jehovah, and not a GodH430 afarH7350 off? 24Can any hideH5641 himself in secretH4565 placesH4565 so that I shall not seeH7200 him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fillH4390 heavenH8064 and earthH776? saith Jehovah. 25I have heardH8085 what the prophetsH5030 have saidH559, that prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034, sayingH559, I have dreamedH2492, I have dreamedH2492. 26How long shall this be in the heartH3820 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 liesH8267, even the prophetsH5030 of the deceit of their own heartH3820? 27that think to cause my peopleH5971 to forgetH7911 my nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 which they tell every manH376 to his neighborH7453, as their fathersH1 forgat my nameH8034 for BaalH1168.
