Jeremiah 23:21-27

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 peopleH5971 and turned them backH7725 from 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.

25“I have heardH8085 the sayingsH559 of the prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 liesH8267H559 in My nameH8034: ‘I had a dreamH2492! I had a dreamH2492!’ 26How longH5704H4970 will this continueH3426 in the heartsH3820 of these prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 falsehoodH8267, these prophetsH5030 of the delusionH8649 of their own mindsH3820? 27They supposeH2803 the dreamsH2472 thatH834 they tellH5608 oneH376 anotherH7453 will make My peopleH5971 forgetH7911 My nameH8034, just asH834 their fathersH1 forgotH7911 My nameH8034 through the worship of BaalH1168.
