Jeremiah 23:23-32
23“Am I a GodH430 who is 1nearH7138,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “And not a GodH430 farH7350 offH4480H7350?24Can a manH376 2hideH5641 himself in hidingH4565 placesH4565 So I do not seeH7200 him?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “3Do I not fillH4390 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
25“I have 4heardH8085 whatH834 the prophetsH5030 have saidH559 who 5prophesyH5012 falselyH8267 in My nameH8034, sayingH559, ‘I hadH2492 a 6dreamH2492, I hadH2492 a dreamH2492!’ 26HowH4970 longH5704H4970? Is thereH3426 anything in the heartsH3820 of the prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 falsehoodH8267, even these prophetsH5030 of the 7deceptionH8649 of their own heartH3820, 27who intendH2803 to 8make My peopleH5971 forgetH7911 My nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 whichH834 they relateH5608 to oneH376 anotherH7453, justH3512 as their fathersH1 9forgotH7911 My nameH8034 because of BaalH1168? 28The prophetH5030 whoH834 hasH854 a dreamH2472 may relateH5608 his dreamH2472, but let him whoH834 hasH854 10My wordH1697 speakH1696 My wordH1697 in truthH571. 11WhatH4100 does strawH8401 have in common with grainH1250?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 29“Is not My wordH1697 like 12fireH784?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “and like a 13hammerH6360 which shattersH6483 a rockH5553? 30ThereforeH3651 beholdH2009, 14I am againstH5921 the prophetsH5030,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “who stealH1589 My wordsH1697 from eachH376 otherH7453. 31BeholdH2009, I am againstH5921 the prophetsH5030,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “who useH3947 their tonguesH3956 and declareH5001, ‘The Lord declaresH5002.’ 32BeholdH2009, I am againstH5921 those who have prophesiedH5012 15falseH8267 dreamsH2472,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “and relatedH5608 them and ledH8582 My peopleH5971 astrayH8582 by their falsehoodsH8267 and 16recklessH6350 boastingH6350; yet 17I did not sendH7971 them or commandH6680 them, norH3808 do they 18furnishH3276 thisH2088 peopleH5971 the slightestH3276 benefitH3276,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
