Jeremiah 23:16-24
16This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:
“Do notH408 listenH8085 toH5921 the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 to you.They are filling you with false hopesH1891H1992.They speakH1696 visionsH2377 from their own mindsH3820,notH3808 from the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.17They keep sayingH559 to those who despise MeH5006,‘The LORDH3068 says thatH1696 you will haveH1961 peaceH7965,’and to everyoneH3605 who walksH1980 in the stubbornnessH8307 of his own heartH3820,‘NoH3808 harmH7451 will comeH935 to youH5921.’
18ButH3588 which of themH4310 has stoodH5975 in the councilH5475 of the LORDH3068to seeH7200 and hearH8085 His wordH1697?WhoH4310 has given heedH7181 to His wordH1697and obeyed itH8085?19BeholdH2009, the stormH5591 of the LORDH3068has gone outH3318 with furyH2534,a whirlwindH2342H5591 swirling downH2342uponH5921 the headsH7218 of the wickedH7563.20The angerH639 of the LORDH3068 will notH3808 turn backH7725untilH5704 He has fully accomplishedH6213H5704H6965 the purposesH4209 of His heartH3820.In the daysH3117 to comeH319you will understandH995 this clearlyH998.
21I did notH3808 sendH7971 these prophetsH5030,yet theyH1992 have run with their messageH7323;I did notH3808 speakH1696 to themH413,yet theyH1992 have prophesiedH5012.22But ifH518 they had stoodH5975 in My councilH5475,they would have proclaimedH8085 My wordsH1697 to My peopleH5971and turned them backH7725from their evilH7451 waysH1870 andH7455 deedsH4611.”
23“Am IH589 only a GodH430 nearbyH7138,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, “and notH3808 a GodH430 far awayH7350?”
24“CanH518 a manH376 hideH5641 in secret placesH4565 where IH589 cannotH3808 see himH7200?” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.
“Do IH589 notH3808 fillH4390 the heavensH8064 andH853 the earthH776?” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.
