Jeremiah 23:9-22
My heartH3820 is brokenH7665 within meH7130,and allH3605 my bonesH6106 trembleH7363.I have becomeH1961 like a drunkardH376H7910,like a manH1397 overcomeH5674 by wineH3196,because ofH6440 the LORDH3068,because ofH6440 His holyH6944 wordsH1697.10ForH3588 the landH776H3588 is full ofH4390 adulterersH5003—because ofH6440 the curseH423, the landH776 mournsH56and the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 have dried upH3001—their courseH4794 isH1961 evilH7451and their powerH1369 is misusedH3808H3651.
11“ForH3588 bothH1571 prophetH5030 andH1571 priestH3548 are ungodlyH2610;evenH1571 in My houseH1004 I have foundH4672 their wickednessH7451,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.12“ThereforeH3651 their pathH1870 will becomeH1961 slickH2519;they will be driven awayH1760 into the darknessH653 and fallH5307 into it.ForH3588 I will bringH935 disasterH7451 upon themH5921in the yearH8141 of their punishmentH6486,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.13“Among the prophetsH5030 of SamariaH8111I sawH7200 an offensive thingH8604:They prophesiedH5012 by BaalH1168and led My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 astrayH8582.14And among the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389I have seenH7200 a horrible thingH8186:They commit adulteryH5003and walkH1980 in liesH8267.They strengthenH2388 the handsH3027 of evildoersH7489,so that noH1115 oneH376 turns his backH7725 on wickednessH7451.They areH1961 allH3605 like SodomH5467 to Me;the people of JerusalemH3427 are like GomorrahH6017.”
15ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559 concerningH5921 the prophetsH5030H2005:
“I will feedH398 themH853 wormwoodH3939and give them poisonedH7219 waterH4325 to drinkH8248,forH3588 from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389ungodlinessH2613H3605 has spreadH3318 throughout the landH776.”
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.”
