Jeremiah 23:16-24
16ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “1Do not listenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 who are prophesyingH5012 to you. They are 2leadingH1891 you into futilityH1891; They speakH1696 a 3visionH2377 of their own 4imaginationH3820, Not 5from the mouthH6310 of the LordH3068.17They keep sayingH559 to those who 6despiseH5006 Me, ‘The LordH3068 has saidH1696, “7You will haveH1961 peaceH7965”’; And as for everyoneH3605 who walksH1980 in the 8stubbornnessH8307 of his own heartH3820, They sayH559, ‘9CalamityH7463 will not comeH935 upon you.’18But 10whoH4310 has stoodH5975 in the councilH5475 of the LordH3068, That he should seeH7200 and hearH8085 His wordH1697? WhoH4310 has givenH7181 11heedH7181 to 12His wordH1697 and listenedH8085?19BeholdH2009, the 13stormH5591 of the LordH3068 has goneH3318 forthH3318 in wrathH2534, Even a whirlingH2342 tempestH5591; It will swirlH2342 downH2342 on the headH7218 of the wickedH7563.20The 14angerH639 of the LordH3068 will not turnH7725 backH7725 UntilH5704 He has 15performedH6213 and carriedH6965 out the purposesH4209 of His heartH3820; 16In the lastH319 daysH3117 you will clearlyH998 understandH995 it.2117I did not sendH7971 these prophetsH5030, But they ranH7323. I did not speakH1696 to them, But they prophesiedH5012.22But ifH518 they had 18stoodH5975 in My councilH5475, Then they would have 19announcedH8085 My wordsH1697 to My peopleH5971, And would have turnedH7725 them backH7725 from their evilH7451 wayH1870 And from the evilH7455 of their deedsH4611.
23“Am I a GodH430 who is 20nearH7138,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “And not a GodH430 farH7350 offH4480H7350?24Can a manH376 21hideH5641 himself in hidingH4565 placesH4565 So I do not seeH7200 him?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “22Do I not fillH4390 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
